What shall we pray for this month?

The Holy Father's general prayer intention for August is for the Unemployed and the Homeless.

"That those who are unemployed, homeless, or in any serious need may find welcome, understanding, and help in overcoming their difficulties. "

His missionary intention is for Victims of Discrimination, Hunger, and Forced Emigration.

"That the Church may be a home for all people in need, opening its doors to any who suffer from racial or religious discrimination, hunger, or wars forcing their emigration. "
