Video Messages Disseminate the Pope’s Prayer Intentions

Beginning this January Pope Francis will be announcing his prayer intentions each month by means of a video message that will be posted on all the social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. This new and unprecedented initiative of the Apostleship of Prayer was launched on 6 January with a papal message in Spanish that was translated into 10 languages.
 
In his first message, the Pope said he hoped that sincere dialogue between people of different religions would bear the fruits of peace and justice. The video message included representatives of different beliefs–Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist–each of whom professed his/her faith and said that he/she believed in love.
 
The idea for disseminating the Pope’s prayer intentions via video messages was the brain child of the La Machi Communications Agency, which is carrying out the initiative in collaboration with the Vatican Television Center.
