Pope Francis has asked the Catholic Church to pray for small businesses during the month of August.
“As a consequence of the pandemic and the wars, the world is facing a grave socio-economic crisis,” the pope said in a video message released Aug. 2. “And among those most affected are small and medium-sized businesses.”
He added that “despite the difficulties, they create jobs, fulfilling their social responsibility.”
Among those hit the hardest, the pope mentions stores, workshops, cleaning businesses, transport businesses, and others “that don’t appear on the world’s richest and most powerful lists.”
