Pope's Prayer Intention for December 2018

Let us pray that people, who are involved in the service and transmission of faith, may find, in their dialogue with culture, a language suited to the conditions of the present time, in their dialogue with people´s hearts, and above all, by listening much.

Let us listen to how others speak and live, and let us communicate the Gospel in such a way that they can receive it in their heart. This way, we can be sure they´ll understand us. Once again, it´s simply a matter of following the example of Jesus Christ, the master of communicating the faith.

“If you want to share your faith through the word, you have to listen much and carefully. Let us imitate the style of Jesus, who adapted himself to the people He had in front of Him so as to bring God´s love to them.

Let us pray that people, who are involved in the service and transmission of faith, may find, in their dialogue with culture, a language suited to the conditions of the present time, in their dialogue with people´s hearts, and above all, by listening much.”
