An end to child soldiers

Pope Francis’ prayer intention for December is for the End to Child-Soldiers: That the scandal of child-soldiers may be eliminated the world over.



Transcription of the Holy Father's Prayer Intentions
for the month of December

In this world, which has developed the most sophisticated technologies, weapons are sold that end up in the hands of child soldiers. We must do everything possible so that the dignity of children may be respected, and end this form of slavery. Whoever you are, if you are moved as I am, I ask you to join in this prayer intention: That the scandal of child-soldiers may be eliminated the world over.
