Papal Prayer Intentions for February 2006

Papal Prayer Intentions for February 2006

=========================================

Benedict XVI's special prayer intention for the coming month reflects
the urgency of evangelization in mission lands and the role of the laity
in this task, including in public life.

In February the Pope will pray that lay Catholics in mission lands may
"serve their country with ever greater commitment in every field,
including politics and social assistance."

The Apostleship of Prayer announced the missionary intention, chosen by
the Pope. For this intention he offers his prayers and sacrifices along
with those of thousands of the faithful worldwide.

"Over two-thirds of the world's 6 billion people ... live without yet
knowing or recognizing Jesus Christ," recalled Archbishop Nicholas
Cheong Jin-Suk of Seoul, in a commentary on the intention, published by
the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.

The Holy Father also prays every month for a general intention, which in
February will be: "That the international community be ever more aware
of the urgent duty to put an end to the traffic of human beings."

Have a nice Day...
