Pope Benedict XVI

Benedict XVI will be praying in October for Catholic universities, particularly that they might become places where people find a faith-reason unity.

The Apostleship of Prayer announced the intentions chosen by the Pope for October. His general prayer intention is: “That Catholic universities may increasingly become places where, in light of the Gospel, people may experience the unity of faith and reason.”

The Holy Father also chooses an apostolic intention for each month. In October he will pray: “That World Mission Day may help Christians realize that the task of proclaiming Christ is a necessary service to which the Church is called for the benefit of humanity.”

World Mission Day is traditionally celebrated the third Sunday of October.
