"Pope Francis has released his first-ever video message for the traditional papal prayer intention for the month, movingly calling on people of different faiths around the world to work together for peace and justice.

"In a powerful 90-second video that also features other Buddhist, Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders, Francis says that the majority of the world's population identifies as religious believers.

"This should lead to dialogue among religions," the pontiff states, speaking in his native Spanish. "We should not stop praying for it and collaborating with those who think differently."
