In his video message for July, Pope Francis focuses on dialogue as the “path to seeing reality in a new way, so we can live with passion the challenges we face in constructing the common good.”

He calls for an end to polarization that divides us, and urges prayers that there be no space for “enmity or war”.

The Pope Video has just been released with the intention that Pope Francis is entrusting to the entire Catholic Church through the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.

In the month of July, the Holy Father calls on all to become “architects of dialogue and friendship” to solve the conflicts and causes of division that exist in society and among individual people.

Only through dialogue, he says, is it possible to avoid the constant polarization and social enmity that destroy so many relationships.
