​​​​​​In The Pope Video for August, Pope Francis invites us to pray for political leaders, that they might “work for the common good.”

In his video message, distributed by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, Pope Francis admits that, although “today politics doesn’t have a very good reputation, it is much more noble than it appears.” And he adds that moving “ahead toward universal fraternity” goes hand in hand with “good politics.”
