CNA's special coverage team has arrived in the Holy Land for Pope Francis' historic visit.
This weekend they will be bringing the prayer intentions of our readers to Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre.

Readers who wish to share their intentions can write them in the comment section of this page. Those that follow CNA on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram can also do so by using the hashtag #CNAprayer with their intention.

In addition, prayer requests can be sent to prayers@catholicna.com.

We will receive all of these intentions until Sunday, May, 25th.

Pope Francis will travel to the Holy Land May 24-26. He will visit Bethany beyond the Jordan, the site where John the Baptist was baptizing. He will also travel to Palestine to visit Bethlehem.

In Jerusalem, he will visit the Western Wall, the Mount of Olives, the church of Gethsemane, and the Cenacle.

The Pope will address refugees and the physically disabled on his trip. He will meet with Jerusalem's Grand Mufti, the Sunni cleric entrusted with the city's Muslim holy places, as well as Jerusalem's chief rabbis.

He will also meet in private with Patriarch Bartholomew I, the Eastern Orthodox Archbishop of Constantinople; the two will sign a joint declaration, after which there will be a public ecumenical meeting at the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre.
