“Prayer brings you to hope. And when things become dark, with more prayer there will be more hope”. - Pope Francis

 

Prayer, according to Pope Francis, does not work 'like a magic wand' but instead helps 'us to keep faith in God, and to entrust ourselves to him even when we do not understand his will'. This booklet brings together a selection of the prayers Pope Francis has issued since taking office and not only highlights his special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary but also his sincere engagement with issues such as peace, the environment and the family.         

 

Pope Francis: Selected Prayers will make a wonderful resource for any home, school or parish and will help enrich the contemplative lives of those seeking words of encouragement and solace on their Christian journey.
