In his prayer intention for the month of June 2018, Pope Francis said: "Let us pray together that social networks may work towards that inclusiveness which respects others for their differences."
It has become the custom of Pope Francis to release a video message detailing his prayer intention for each month.
The full text of the message is below:
The Internet is a gift of God, but it is also a great responsibility.
Communication technology, its places, its instruments have brought with it a lengthening of horizons, a widening, for so many people.
It can offer immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity.
May the digital network not be a place of alienation. May it be a concrete place, a place rich in humanity.
Let us pray together that social networks may work towards that inclusiveness which respects others for their differences.
The Pope's developed "The Pope Video" initiative to assist in the worldwide dissemination of monthly intentions of the Holy Father in relation to the challenges facing humanity.
