Pope Francis’ prayer intention for October is for journalists

Pope Francis has released his videomessage accompanying his monthly prayer intention for October. This month’s intention is for Journalists: That journalists, in carrying out their work, may always be motivated by respect for truth and a strong sense of ethics.

The text of the video message reads:

“I often wonder: How can media be put to the service of a culture of encounter?

We need information leading to compromise for the good of humanity and the planet.

Join me in this prayer request.

That journalists, in carrying out their work, may always be motivated by respect for truth and a strong sense of ethics. 

Can you help me spread this prayer request?

Yes.”

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.
