What shall we pray for this month?

Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for the month of August is:

"That World Youth Day may inspire or reawaken in young people the desire to meet Christ and find in Him the guide of their own lives."

His mission intention is:

"That the priests, religious men and women, seminarians and laity from mission countries who are completing their formation in Rome, may find their stay in the 'Eternal City' a time of spiritual enrichment."
