On Friday, the Vatican Press Office released the Holy Father's prayer intentions for the month of May. In his intentions, the Pontiff prays for an end to the trafficking of millions of women and children.
Pope Benedict's general prayer intention is: "That the shameful and monstrous commerce in human beings, which sadly involves millions of women and children, may be ended."
His mission intention is: "That ordained ministers, religious women and men, and lay people involved in apostolic work may understand how to infuse missionary enthusiasm into the communities entrusted to their care."
