Vatican City, Jul 1, 2010 / 08:35 am
Today the Vatican announced the Holy Father's intentions for the month of July, which include prayers that elections around the world will be carried out with fairness and respect of citizens' freedom and that Christians, particularly in urban areas, will strive to contribute to solidarity and peace.
Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for July is: “That in every nation of the world the election of officials may be carried out with justice, transparency and honesty, respecting the free decisions of citizens.”
The Pontiff's mission intention is: “That Christians may strive to offer everywhere, but especially in great urban centers, an effective contribution to the promotion of education, justice, solidarity and peace.”
