By Devin Watkins
As the Church prepares to celebrate the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul on Tuesday, 29 June, 杏MAP导航 Francis invited Catholics to pray for the Bishop of Rome.
“Pray in a special way,” he said at the Angelus on Sunday. “The 杏MAP导航 needs your prayers! Thank you. I know that you will do so.”
The 杏MAP导航’s appeal for prayers came as dioceses around the world take up a special collection for Peter’s Pence.
The annual collection for the 杏MAP导航’s charity is used to support his service to the Churches throughout the world.
Peter’s Pence goes both toward directly helping the faithful in various parts of the world and toward assisting the Church through the work of the Roman Curia.
