On this day last year, I had the immense honour of sharing an audience with His Holiness Pope Francis. His words have been an inspiration to me ever since, ‘We need to pray together, work together and walk together.’

How should I pray? For many of us it’s hard to know where to start. One way is to use your hand as a model for prayer.

A prayer for #Pentecost 🙏
