January Pope's prayer intentions

Benedict XVI will be praying this month for the victims of natural disasters.

The Apostleship of Prayer announced the intentions chosen by the Pope for January.

His general intention is “that the victims of natural disasters may receive the spiritual and material comfort they need to rebuild their lives.”

The Pontiff’s mission intention is focused on peace: “That the dedication of Christians to peace may bear witness to the name of Christ before all men and women of good will.”
