  1. I say a prayer each day for the intentions of the Holy Father. Today I say a special prayer for the Holy Father himself. I remember the day of his election he asked the congregation to pray for him and started with an Our Father, a Hail Mary and a Glory Be…I have said that prayer today for you, Pope Francis.
