The prayer of the 5 fingers of Pope Francis

1. The thumb is the finger closest to you.

So start by praying for those closest to you. They are the people we remember most easily. Praying for our loved ones is "a sweet obligation".

2. The next finger is the index finger.

Pray for those who teach, educate and heal.This category includes teachers, professors, doctors and priests. They need support and wisdom to show others the right direction. Always remember them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the highest, middle finger.

It reminds us of our rulers. Pray for the president, parliamentarians, entrepreneurs and leaders. They are the people who manage the destiny of our homeland and guide public opinion ...

They need the guidance of God.

4. The fourth finger is the ring finger. It will leave many surprised, but this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher can confirm. It is there to remind us to pray for the weakest, for those who have challenges to face, for the sick. They need your prayers day and night. There will never be too many prayers for them. And he is there to invite us to pray also for married couples.

5. And lastly comes our little finger, the smallest of all, just as we must feel before God and neighbor. As the Bible says, "the least will be the first." The little finger reminds you to pray for yourself ... After you have prayed for all the others, it will be then that you will be able to better understand what your needs are by looking at them from the right perspective.
