Pope’s prayer intention for April: Youth
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis’ prayer intention for April is dedicated to Youth: ‘For young people, that they might know how to respond generously to the vocation God has given them, and immerse themselves in the great causes of the world.’
The Apostleship of Prayer has produced the Pope’s Video on this prayer intention.
The full text of the Pope’s Video is below:
I know that you, young people, don’t want to be duped by a false freedom, always at the beck and call of momentary fashions and fads. I know that you aim high. Is that true, or am I wrong?
Don’t leave it to others to be the protagonists of change.
You, young people, are the ones who hold the future! I ask you to be builders of the world, to work for a better world. It is a challenge, yes it is a challenge. Do you accept it?
Pray with me that young people may respond generously to their own vocation and mobilize for the great causes of the world.
