Pope's February Prayer Intention: Welcome the Needy
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis’ prayer intention for February
is to Comfort for the Afflicted: That all those who are
afflicted, especially the poor, refugees, and marginalized, may find welcome
and comfort in our communities.
The Apostleship
of Prayer has produced the Pope’s Video on this prayer intention.
The full text of the Pope’s Video is below:
Welcome the Needy
We live in cities that throw up skyscrapers and shopping
centers and strike big real estate deals … but they abandon a part of
themselves to marginal settlements on the periphery.1
The result of this situation is that great sections of the
population are excluded and marginalized: without a job, without options,
without a way out. 2
Don’t abandon them. Pray with me for all those who are
afflicted, especially the poor, refugees, and marginalized, may find welcome
and comfort in our communities.3
