In a month from now, on the 13th of March, Pope Francis will be celebrating ten years of his pontificate.

To highlight this milestone anniversary in a “viral” manner, the Digital Synod has launched a special online map featuring virtual lighted candles representing the prayers of the faithful worldwide for him.

Anyone who wishes to join the initiative will find an invitation on the website to pray one or more Hail Marys. “In the end we will send the Holy Father the map with the  ‘little candles’ which represent the Hail Marys that are prayed for him, thanking God for His Mercy, ” the press release concludes.
