We pray that people living with disabilities may be at the centre of attention in society, and that institutions may offer inclusive programs which value their active participation.
Pope Francis offered that invitation to Christians in The Pope Video released on Tuesday to accompany his monthly prayer intention for the universal Church.
In the video, the Pope acknowledged that people with disabilities “are among the most fragile among us.”
“Some of them suffer rejection, rooted in either ignorance or prejudice, which then marginalizes them,” he added.
