Epiphany noun epiph·a·ny \i-ˈpi-fə-nē\ a Christian festival held on January 6 in honor of the coming of the three kings to the infant Jesus Christ a moment in which you suddenly see or understand something in a new or very clear way in 2016, the date POPE FRANCIS unveils his first monthly intention VIDEO! Starting with Leo XIII in 1890, every Pope has entrusted his own personal prayer intentions to the Apostleship of Prayer . Our job is to make sure everyone who wants to pray with the Pope knows exactly what is on his heart. Pope Francis has just made our job easier by going on camera with the Apostleship of Prayer!! Join me at Praying with Grace for the Vatican press release and all the juicy details!

The Pope has a prayer group, and it's called the Apostleship of Prayer. The  international Apostleship of Prayer website  has a map of the prayer group's offices around the world: Praying with the Pope around the world! These offices serve the Church by uniting people in prayer for the Pope's personal intentions. I love clicking on the links to Apostleship of Prayer sites from various countries. Just a few minutes on these sites helps me work on my foreign language skills and provides a glimpse into the vibrant prayer lives of our brothers and sisters around the globe. When Pope Francis visited the US last month, he asked at  every  stop for people to pray for him. The worldwide Apostleship of Prayer gives us a concrete way to do exactly that.
