The Apostleship of Prayer announced the Pope’s prayer intentions for the month. Thousands of faithful worldwide join their own prayers and sacrifices to the Holy Father’s for the same intention.
The general intention for the month is «That married people may imitate the example of conjugal holiness shown by so many couples in the ordinary conditions of life.»
Every month the Pope also prays for a missionary intention, which next month will be «That pastors of mission territories may recognize with constant care their duty to foster the permanent formation of their own priests.»
