The Apostleship of Prayer announced the intentions chosen by the Pope for April. His general intention is: «That every tendency to fundamentalism and extremism may be countered by constant respect, by tolerance and by dialogue among all believers.»
The Holy Father also chooses an apostolic intention for each month.
In April he will pray: «That Christians persecuted for the sake of the Gospel may persevere, sustained by the Holy Spirit, in faithfully witnessing to the love of God for the entire human race.»
