Dear brothers and sisters of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network,

We are overjoyed that the Lord has blessed us with a new successor of Peter, Pope Leo XIV, who will also guide us on our journey to the Heart of Jesus, where we encounter the heart of the world.

From this moment on, we entrust his pontificate with renewed dedication and make ourselves available to pray for his intentions.

With a warm embrace to all,
Cristóbal Fones, SJ

A message from the National Director:

The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer), the largest prayer-group in the Catholic church, exists to encourage prayer and action for the challenges facing humanity and the mission of the Church, expressed in the Pope’s monthly prayer intentions.

It’s a “Way of the Heart”, a mission of compassion for the world that anyone can join. There is nothing to sign up for, no fees to pay and no forms to fill in. You become an Apostle of Prayer by praying each day with the Pope for the concerns in his heart, together with millions all around the world. It’s the Pope’s personal prayer-group!

It is an official pontifical work, entrusted to the Jesuits (Society of Jesus). Its International Directorate is in the Vatican City State and each country or territory where it operates has a National Director or Co-ordinator. It operates with the approval of the Episcopal Conference in each country.

Pope St.John Paul II loved the Prayer Network, calling it “a precious treasure from the Pope’s heart and the Heart of Christ”. 

We seek to form our hearts to be like Christ’s heart, full of compassion for all of creation. Each morning we offer our day and our life to Christ, following our daily prayer pathway, our “Way of the Heart”. Browse through our site to learn more about the various ways we do this.
