Pope asks prayers for those affected by war and for the family

The press office of the Holy See released the prayer intentions of Pope Benedict for the month of September this morning.

The Pope’s intentions include those displaced by war or by oppressive regimes and that families will be open to the call to evangelize.

Pope Benedict XVI's general prayer intention is: "That those who, because of wars or oppressive regimes, are forced to leave their homes and country may be supported by Christians in the defence and protection of their rights."

His mission intention is: "That, faithful to the sacrament of matrimony, every Christian family may cultivate the values of love and communion in order to be a small evangelising community, sensitive and open to the material and spiritual needs of its brothers."
