December 2008 - Intentions of the Holy Father

From the Apostleship of Prayer

Culture of Life. That, faced with the growing expansion of the culture of violence and death, the Church may courageously promote the culture of life through all her apostolic and missionary activities.

Fraternal Witness. That, especially in mission countries, Christians may show through gestures of kindness that the Child born in Bethlehem is the Hope of the world.

Lord, we bring these intentions of the most Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, your faithful servant and successor of Peter to you with sincere and humble heart. Grant that our world may turn away from death and destruction and embrace life from conception to natural death.

Grant that Christians everywhere - through faith, hope, and love - may be a witness of Christ and of God's unchanging Truth in every corner of the world, calling mankind to repent of sin and walk in holiness.
