Pope Francis asks Christians to pray for a particular intention each month. In November he has asked them to pray…for himself!
“I can imagine that all the popes, at the beginning of their pontificate, had that feeling
of fear, of vertigo, of the one who knows he will be judged harshly. Because the Lord is going to ask us bishops to give a serious account,” says Francis, who recalls that “by being pope, one does not lose his humanity.” He asks that, “you pray that the pope, whoever he may be, today it is my turn, to receive the help of the Holy Spirit, to be docile to that help.”
