Pope praying for victims of religious persecution in March

For the month of March, Pope Benedict is praying for those around the world who are discriminated against because of their faith, and for the spiritual growth of Latin America. 

The Pope's general prayer intention for March is: “That the nations of Latin America may walk in fidelity to the Gospel and progress in justice and peace.”

His mission intention is: “That the Holy Spirit may give light and strength to those in many regions of the world who are persecuted and discriminated against because of the Gospel."
