Pope's Prayer Intention for October 2024
- In his prayer intention for the month of October, Pope Francis invites us to pray for a “a synodal lifestyle as a sign of co-responsibility,” which promotes “the participation, communion and mission shared by priests, religious and laity.”
- As the General Assembly of the Synod begins, Pope Francis reaffirms that “priests are not the bosses of the laity, but their pastors” and that “Jesus called us, one and others – not one above others, or one on one side and others on another side, but complementing each other.”
- Whether someone is a “bus driver,” a “farmer,” or a “fisher,” the pope says the mission is the same in the Video that accompanies his prayer: “to witness with our lives,” “everyone contributing what they know how to do best.”
