Pope Benedict is praying this November for the Eastern Catholic Churches and for the Church in Africa as it looks to live out the Synod for Africa.
The Pope's general prayer intention for November is: “That the Eastern Catholic Churches and their venerable traditions may be known and esteemed as a spiritual treasure for the whole Church.”
His mission intention is: “That the African continent may find strength in Christ to pursue justice and reconciliation as set forth by the second Synod of African Bishops.”
