Vatican, 6 January 2016 - From now on, Pope Francis himself, will expand on His teachings and make His monthly intentions of prayer in a never before seen broadcasted videospot. The Pope Video - Inter-religious Dialogue (1 min. 38 seconds).
In the intentions of each month, Pope Francis outlines the challenges and problems that concern the world. The month of January is focused on the importance of sincere dialogue between religions.
The project is an initiative of the World Network of Prayer of the Pope and was conducted by The Machi Communications agency in collaboration with ROME REPORTS and the Vatican Television Center. From now on, every month, a video like this where the Pope will present His concerns and objectives will be published.
Some of the Popes close friends have participated in the video, such as Muslim Omar Abboud and Rabbi Daniel Goldman.
