The Vatican announced today that Pope Benedict will be praying in August for the success of World Youth Day and for a revitalization of Western Christians' faith.
The Pope's general intention for the month is “that World Youth Day in Madrid may encourage young people throughout the world to have their lives rooted and built up in Christ.”
His mission intention is "that Western Christians may be open to the action of the Holy Spirit and rediscover the freshness and enthusiasm of their faith."
