In his November video, brought to you by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, Francis invites us to pray for the “millions of boys and girls who suffer and live in conditions very similar to slavery,” and he asks us to open our eyes to “the exploitation of these children who don’t have a right to play, to study, to dream. They don’t even enjoy the warmth of a family. They don’t even have the warmth of a family.” “Those who are homeless, orphans, and victims of war”: the world is full of children without a childhood, and each of them – the Pope says in this video – is “a cry that rises up to God and shames the system that we adults have built.”
