O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my relatives and friends and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father.

Pope’s Prayer Intentions For This Month
2022
September
For the abolition of the death penalty
We pray that the death penalty, which attacks the dignity of the human person, may be legally abolished in every country.
October
For a Church open to everyone
We pray for the Church; ever faithful to, and courageous in preaching the Gospel, may the Church be a community of solidarity, fraternity and welcome, always living in an atmosphere of synodality.
November
For children who suffer
We pray for children who are suffering, especially those who are homeless, orphans, and victims of war; may they be guaranteed access to education and the opportunity to experience family affection.
December
For volunteer not-for-profit organisations
We pray that volunteer non-profit organisations committed to human development find people dedicated to the common good and ceaselessly seek new paths to international cooperation.
2023
January
For educators
We pray for that educators may be credible witnesses, teaching fraternity rather than competition and helping the youngest and most vulnerable above all.
February
For parishes
We pray that parishes, placing communion at the centre, may increasingly become communities of faith, fraternity and welcome those most in need.
March
For victims of abuse
We pray for those who suffered harm from members of the Church; may they find within the Church a concrete response to their pain and suffering.
April
For a culture of peace and non violence, by decreasing the use of weapons by States and citizens.
May
For church movements and groups
We pray that Church movements and groups may rediscover their mission of evangelization each day, placing their own charisms, at the service of needs in the world.
June
For the abolition of torture
We pray that the international community may commit in a concrete way to ensuring the abolition of torture and guarantee support to victims and their families.
July
For a Eucharistic life
We pray that Catholics may place the celebration of the Eucharist at the heart of their lives, transforming human relationships in a very deep way and opening to the encounter with God and all their brothers and sisters.
August
For World Youth Day
We pray the World Youth Day in Lisbon will help young people to live and witness the Gospel in their own lives.
September
For people living on the margins
We pray for those persons living on the margins of society, in inhumane life conditions; may not be overlooked by institutions and never considered of lesser importance.
October
For the Synod
We pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening and dialogue as a lifestyle at every level, and allow herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the peripheries of the world.
November
For the Pope
We pray for the Holy Father; as he fulfills his mission, may he continue to accompany the flock interested to him, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
December
For persons with disabilities
We pray that people living with disabilities may be at the centre of attention in society, and that institutions may offer inclusive programs which value their active participation.
