The Holy See announced today the prayer intentions of Pope John Paul II for December, which concern human suffering and the churches under totalitarian regimes.
The Holy Father’s general intention for the month of December is: “That the members of all religions may cooperate to alleviate the human sufferings of our time.”
His mission intention is: “That the Church in the countries where totalitarian regimes still reign, may be given full freedom to carry out her own spiritual mission.”
