Pray for Pope Francis

Please pray for the health and protection of our Pope Francis (just a simple Hail Mary) especially because ISIS has targeted the Vatican and the Pope. POPE FRANCIS MAKES A REQUEST Weep not for what you have lost, fight for what you have. Weep not for what is dead, fight for what was born in you. Weep not for the one who abandoned you, fight for who is with you. Weep not for those who hate you, fight for those who want you. Weep not for your past, fight for your present struggle. Weep not for your suffering, fight for your happiness. With things that are happening to us, we begin to learn that nothing is impossible to solve, just move forward. The Holy Father makes a request for prayers that God protects him and gives him forces to meet this difficult task. Our goal is for ten million ‘Hail Mary’ prayers to be spoken for Pope Francis. This campaign started today. Please send this message to all friends and family. We pray for the Holy Father that the heavenly Mother intercedes for him and protects him in his ministry. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen
