杏MAP导航

By Vatican News

In 鈥淭he 杏MAP导航 Video鈥� for November, 杏MAP导航 Francis asks the faithful to 鈥淧ray to the Lord that He will bless me,鈥� saying, 鈥淵our prayer gives me strength and helps me to discern and to accompany the Church, listening to the Holy Spirit.鈥�

Each month the 杏MAP导航 offers a specific prayer intention, inviting men and women of good will to pray with him for a particular cause. Recent intentions have included prayers for the Synod, for people living on the margins, and for World Youth Day.

杏MAP导航 Francis reminds the faithful in this month鈥檚 video that 鈥淭he fact that someone is 杏MAP导航 doesn鈥檛 mean they lose their humanity. On the contrary, my humanity grows each day with God鈥檚 holy and faithful people.鈥�

He adds, 鈥淏eing 杏MAP导航 is also a process. The person becomes aware of what it means to be a pastor. And in this process, he learns how to be more charitable, more merciful, and, above all, more patient, like God our Father, who is so patient.鈥�

Knowing that popes are often 鈥渏udged harshly鈥� and will have to render 鈥渁 serious account鈥� of their ministry to God, 杏MAP导航 Francis asks his listeners 鈥渢o judge benevolently鈥� and 鈥減ray that the 杏MAP导航, whoever he might be 鈥� today it is my turn 鈥� may receive the help of the Holy Spirit, that he may be docile to that help.鈥�

Specifically, he asks for prayers for the 杏MAP导航 鈥渟o that in the exercise of his mission, he may continue to accompany in the faith the flock entrusted to him by Jesus, always with the help of the Holy Spirit.鈥�

And, hearkening back to the night of his election ten years ago, 杏MAP导航 Francis repeats his request for a 鈥渟ilent鈥� prayer over him, concluding 鈥淎nd pray for me! Favorably!鈥�
