The Pope Video focuses each month on a special prayer intention of Pope Francis for the month.
The Prayer Intention for March 2024 :
Pope Francis, who has been told that there are more martyrs today than at the beginning of Christianity, asks for prayers for the martyrs of our day. As a reflection of the Church today, he shares the story recounted by a widowed Muslim man about the martyrdom of his Christian wife as she defied terrorists.
The courage of the martyrs, the witness of the martyrs, is a blessing for everyone.
Let us pray that those who risk their lives for the Gospel might imbue the Church with their courage and missionary drive. And to be open to the grace of martyrdom.
