Vatican, Jul. 31, 2008 (CWNews.com) - The Vatican has released the prayer intentions of Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) for the month of August.
The Holy Father's general prayer intention is: "That the human family may know how to respect God's design for the world and thus become ever more aware of the great gift of God which Creation represents for us."
His missionary intention is: "That the answer of the entire people of God to the common vocation to sanctity and mission may be promoted and fostered, with careful discernment of the charisms and a constant commitment to spiritual and cultural formation."
