Pope's prayer intentions for August

Yesterday, the Holy Father released a video message outlining his prayer intentions for the month of August.  He speaks of his desire for sports to build a culture of encounter among all people, and ultimately a world of peace.


Transcription of the Holy Father's
video message regarding his
prayer intentions for the month of August

Sports make it possible to build a culture of encounter among everyone for a world of peace. I dream of sports as the practice of human dignity, turned into a vehicle of fraternity. Do we exercise together this prayer intention? That sports may be an opportunity for friendly encounters between people and may contribute to peace in the world. Pope Francis’ prayer intention in August for evangelization was entitled: Living the Gospel – That Christians may live the Gospel, giving witness to faith, honesty, and love of neighbour.
