The Holy See announced Pope John Paul II’s general prayer intention for March, which is devoted to indigenous populations.
His intention is: “That the land, culture and all the rights of the indigenous populations of the world may be respected, so that true harmony between them and those among whom they live may be attained.”
His mission intention is: “That, in Africa, cooperation between missionary Institutes and local Churches may grow, with respect for the variety of gifts.”
