Praying for the Pope’s Intentions: The 6 Intentions of the Holy Father March 20, 2019. St. Clement Mary Hofbauer once said: “A Christian who does not pray for the pope is like a child who does not pray for his father.” Yet, in our age when the Faith is under attack, when the Pope himself seems to be propagating errors and advancing heresy, and when the Church allows the scandal of the sexual abuse of children to advance, how can we possible pray “for the intentions of the Holy Father”? Often, you may hear people praying for the intentions of the Holy Father at the end of their Rosaries or other prayers since this is usually a requirement to gain an indulgence.

But should we join in such prayers if the Pope’s personal, private intentions seem contrary to the Church’s intentions? Yes. In fact, we should! By offering our prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father …More

Her fatigue then made sleeping more difficult – but she persevered: “How many efforts does not that wretch make to make it impossible for me to pray! Yesterday evening he tried to kill me, and would have succeeded if Jesus had not come quickly to my aid. I was terrified and kept the image of Jesus in my mind…” At one point, while she was writing a letter, the devil “snatched the pen from her hand and tore up the paper then dragged her from the table, seizing her by the hair with such …More
