This is the general intention of the Apostleship of Prayer, which the Holy Father makes his own, offering prayers and sacrifices together with thousands of lay people, religious, priests and bishops.
The intention for this month reads: «That all men and women may recognize that they are members of God’s one family and end wars, injustice and discrimination among themselves.»
The Pope is also praying for the following missionary intention: «That every mission Church may engage itself in the training of apostolic personnel.»
