September Prayer Intention

Pope Francis' September prayer intentions were released today.  The monthly video focuses on changes in society, which are also an opportunity to create a more human world. The Holy Father’s  prayer intention for September is: That each may contribute to the common good and to the building of a society that places the human person at the centre.

The text of the video message reads:

Humanity is experiencing a crisis that is not only economic and financial, but is also ecological, educational, moral, and human. (Address of Holy Father Francis, Lecture Hall of the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Sardinia, Cagliari, Sunday, 22 September 2013. Paragraph 4).  When we talk about crisis, we talk about dangers, but also opportunities. What is the opportunity? Being solidarity. Come, help me.

That each may contribute to the common good and to the building of a society that places the human person at the centre (Universal Prayer Intention of the Holy Father entrusted to the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer), September 2016).
