Pope's Prayer Intention for
September:
For our Relationship with all of creation
Let us pray that, inspired by Saint Francis, we might experience our interdependence with all creatures who are loved by God and worthy of love and respect.
Watch video here.
Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. From time to time, the Holy Father may add a second prayer intention related to current events or urgent needs, like disaster relief. The second prayer request will help mobilize prayer and action related to the urgent situation. The Holy Father has entrusted these intentions in a particular way to the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, an organization that works to encourage Christians to respond to the Pope's appeal and to deepen their daily prayer. You can find more information about the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network on their website. (The Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network will also publish any urgent prayer intentions of the Holy Father as soon as they are received from the Holy See.)

Who are you when all the noise and influences of the world are quietened? There’s a moment in the Gospels when Jesus heals a man who is deaf and can’t speak. And he says “Ephphatha”. The Gospel tells us this means “Be opened”. We can be open to all sorts of things in our life through what we hear. What kind of music we listen to, who we follow on social media, things people say to us… How often do you find yourself picking up the same phrases your friends use? Or adopting words from trends that go viral? It all gives us a sense of who we are. But… can you imagine a world where you never listen to music or youtube, never hear the news, never “hear” the many voices that try to tell us how to speak & how to act? I’m talking about more than just the sense of hearing - I mean, who would we be if we didn’t have so much noise and busyness around us?
