Vatican City, Oct 31, 2008 / 08:42 am
Today the Vatican’s press office released Pope Benedict’s prayer intentions for the month of November. The Holy Father is praying that the example of the saints will encourage everyone in holiness and that the Church in Asia will find the best ways to announce the Gospel.
Benedict's general prayer intention for November is: "That the testimony of love offered by the saints may fortify Christians in their devotion to God and their neighbor, imitating Christ who came to serve and not to be served".
His mission intention is: "That the Christian communities of Asia, contemplating the face of Christ, may know how to find the most suitable ways to announce Him, in full faithfulness to the Gospel, to the people of that vast continent so rich in culture and ancient forms of spirituality".
