The Apostleship of Prayer announced this general intention chosen by the Pope: «That the Lord may bless farmers’ work with an abundant harvest and sensitize the richer populations to the drama of hunger in the world.»
The Holy Father also chooses an apostolic intention for each month. In April he will pray: «That the Christians who operate in the territories where the conditions of the poor, the weak and the women and children are most tragic, may be signs of hope, thanks to their courageous testimony to the Gospel of solidarity and love.»
