This is a requirement for plenary indulgences. I’m not sure if that means we are supposed to pray for the Pope, or pray for his intentions that he issues on a monthly basis. Could someone clear that up?
Thanks
 
Yes, each month the Holy Father lists his prayer intentions for that month. In support of the Pope, we are called upon to pray for his intentions. Here is a link which may help.

We were always taught to add the three prayers for his intention.

Our Father.
Hail Mary.
Glory Be.
 
So saying those 3 prayers for the Holy Father is what that means? And not praying for the intentions he announces on a monthly basis?
