Vatican News reports that Pope Francis has chosen, as his prayer intention for the month of June, "the beauty of marriage", inviting us to pray for those who are preparing for marriage with the support of a Christian community.
The Holy Father's video message to accompany this intention can be watched on Youtube: June: The Beauty of Marriage. Each and every image in this video shows a relationship between a man and a woman, reflecting Catholic teaching that marriage is a lifelong and exclusive commitment of one man and one woman for the birth and education of children. The different cultural backgrounds reflected in these images remind us that marriage has a universal character; and there are one or two lovely images of couples who have been married for some time.
The Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network have also produced a useful infographic.
