The Pope's intentions for September:
General: That in less developed parts of the world the proclamation of the Word of God may renew people’s hearts, encouraging them to work actively toward authentic social progress.
Missionary: That by opening our hearts to love we may put an end to the numerous wars and conflicts which continue to bloody our world.
