Apostleship of Prayer

Each month the Pope entrusts a prayer intention to his Worldwide Prayer Network, the Apostleship of Prayer. These intentions, which express the Pope’s concern for humanity and the mission of the Church, are made available along with a morning and evening prayer. Let’s join many others around the world and pray with the Pope.

Let us pray that the use of the new technologies will not replace human relationships,
will respect the dignity of the person, and will help us face the crises of our times.

Morning Prayer
Good Father, I know you are with me on this new day.
Place my heart once more next to the heart of your Son Jesus, who is giving himself for me and who comes to me in the Eucharist.
I place in your hands my joys and hopes, my works and sufferings, everything that I am and
have, in communion with my brothers and sisters of this worldwide prayer network.
With Mary, I offer you my day for the mission of the Church and for the prayer intentions of the Pope for this month.
Amen.

Evening Prayer
At the end of the day, in a moment of silence, I ask the Holy Spirit to show me in which ways that Jesus has been with me during this day, and I thank him.
I ask myself in which ways have I been available to his mission, and I also thank him.
I look at how I have been an obstacle to his work in me, and I ask that in his mercy he may come and transform my heart.
I ask him that I may live the next day close to him.
Amen.
