Pope Benedict's Prayer Intentions for October 2008

Yes another month has rolled around and the Pope has things he wants us to pray for again this month. I am very glad we mention these papal intentions at Mass now. It sort makes me wonder why we were not always doing it


General:
That the Synod of Bishops may help bishops and theologians as well as catechists and pastoral workers engaged in the service of the Word of God transmit with courage the truth of the faith in communion with the entire Church.

Mission:

That in this month dedicated to the missions, through the promotional activities of the Pontifical Missionary Works and other organisms, the Christian may feel the need to participate in the Church’s universal mission with prayer, sacrifice and concrete help.
