Pope January Prayer Intention: for Victims of Religious Persecution

For the first month of 2022, Pope Francis has asked Catholics to pray for those facing religious discrimination and persecution. In a video appeal, the Pope called religious persecution “inhuman” and “insane,” adding that we should “pray that those who suffer discrimination and suffer religious persecution may find in the societies in which they live the rights and dignity that comes from being brothers and sisters.” [1]
