POPE FRANCIS IS URGING ALL CHRISTIANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS MONTH OF APRIL,
TO PLEASE
PRAY FOR DOCTORS
AND THEIR SUPPORT TEAMS
IN WAR-TORN AREAS
The Holy Father has designated April as a month for pray for doctors and their collaborators in war zones who risk their lives to save the lives of others. These individuals bring their skills to areas of war and violence with the aim of offering treatment to lessen peoples’ agony of body, mind, and spirit.Working under conditions of great danger, they willingly and courageously put themselves at risk of harm. In so doing, they bear witness to their belief in the dignity and value of life. Through their commitment, whether motivated by the words of Jesus or their own innate sense of human decency, they offer hope that the love in God’s heart may eventually catch fire in the hearts of others. For that reason, the Holy Father asks us to pray for such brave people this month.
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer) addresses the challenges facing humanity and assists the mission of the Church. We pray and work to meet the challenges of the world identified by the Pope in his monthly intentions, while walking a spiritual path called the “Way of the Heart.”
