Benedict XVI is dedicating the month of March to pray for Latin America, so that the nations of the continent become more just and peaceful.

The Apostleship of Prayer announced the intentions chosen by the Pope for this month. His general intention is: “That the nations of Latin America may walk in fidelity to the Gospel and progress in justice and peace.”

The Pontiff’s apostolic intention for March is: “That the Holy Spirit may give light and strength to those in many regions of the world who are persecuted and discriminated against because of the Gospel.”
