The Pope’s August Intention: for Political Leaders

Each month, the Holy Father offers a special prayer intention. In August, Pope Francis asks all Catholics to pray for political leaders around the world.

We pray that political leaders be at the service of their own people, working for integral human development and for the common good, especially caring for the poor and those who have lost their jobs.

Watch Pope Francis’ video and be sure to offer your prayers for this special intention throughout August.
