The Apostleship of Prayer, a pious association, announced this general intention, which was chosen by the Pope and shared by millions of faithful worldwide.
The intention for the month of September reads: «That the right to religious freedom may be respected by the government of all peoples.»
Every month, the Holy Father also prays for a missionary intention. For September that intention reads: «That the proclamation of the Christian message in the new Churches may ensured through its insertion into the existing cultures.»
