What is the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network?
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer) addresses the challenges facing humanity and assists the mission of the Church. Those challenges are expressed in monthly prayer intentions of the Pope.
His intentions are keys for our prayer and mission. You are apostles in daily life, walking a spiritual path called “Way of the Heart,” working to serve Christ’s mission.
