Holy Father Pope Francis released a video message accompanying his prayer intention for June, which this month is “For inclusive and respectful social networks”. It has become the custom of His Holiness Pope Francis to release a video message detailing his prayer intention for each month.
As reported by Vatican news, Holy Father Pope Francis remarked that “The Internet is a gift of God, but it is also a great responsibility. Communication technology, its places, its instruments have brought with it a lengthening of horizons, a widening, for so many people. It can offer immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. May the digital network not be a place of alienation. May it be a concrete place, a place rich in humanity” Further, His Holiness added, “Let us pray together that social networks may work towards that inclusiveness which respects others for their differences.”
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network of the Apostleship of Prayer developed “The Pope Video” initiative to assist in the worldwide dissemination of monthly intentions of the Holy Father in relation to the challenges facing humanity.
