On Monday, the Holy See's Press Office released Pope Benedict XVI's prayer intentions for the month of June. In his intentions, the Pontiff prays that institutions around the globe will work to guarantee respect for the human person in all stages of life.
Pope Benedict's general prayer intention is: "That every national and trans-national institution may strive to guarantee respect for human life from conception to natural death."
His mission intention is: "That the Churches in Asia, which constitute a 'little flock' among non-Christian populations, may know how to communicate the Gospel and give joyful witness to their adherence to Christ."
