I will do so starting this month to give the intention of the holy Father. The Holy Father's universal prayer intention for August is: “That volunteers may give themselves generously to the service of the needy.” Pope Francis intention for Evangelization is: “That setting aside our very selves we may learn to be neighbors to those who find themselves on the margins of human life and society.”

Vatican City, 1 March 2012 (VIS) - Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for March is: "That the whole world may recognise the contribution of women to the development of society". His mission intention is: "That the Holy Spirit may grant perseverance to those who suffer discrimination, persecution or death for the name of Christ, particularly in Asia".

I will also include the following intentions as requested from one of the FB friends Catholic Church. "Please pray for John Łapuszko he had a stroke and my sister she has a cancer, Special prayer intentions for Doctor Katarzyna G. Students at the Jagiellonian University Faculty of Law, Father John Przybockiego, Father Peter Wisniowski, Father Marek Radomski, Father John Klimek and for Monika, Joanna, Malgorzata, Wiktor, Julia, Patryk, Aga Reb, and Gregory.
