As I was getting ready for bed tonight, I remembered I saw a video of Pope Francis talking about his bedtime prayer. He prays, “Lord, if you want, you can make me clean.” Then he prays 5 Our Fathers – 1 for each of the wounds Jesus suffered on the cross because Jesus cleansed us with His wounds. The Pope said that we can do the same thing in our own homes. It is very uplifting to think about praying the same words as the Pope at the same time and it would help to connect people together. I realize we all go to bed at different times, but if many people pray these words during several hours I think it would be very powerful as well. I love how Pope Francis can bring faith down to the simple things.

I Found God today praying a bedtime prayer with Pope Francis.
