Missionary Spring in the Church: Prayer Intention of Pope Francis
We are all invited to pray with Pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month's intention: Missionary Spring in the Church
In this extraordinary mission month, let us pray that the Holy Spirit engenders a new missionary spring in the Church.
Today, a new impulse to the Church’s missionary activity is needed to face the challenge of proclaiming Jesus and his death and resurrection.
Reaching the peripheries—the human, cultural, and religious settings still foreign to the Gospel: this is what we call the missio ad gentes.
We must also remember that the soul of the Church’s mission is prayer.
In this extraordinary missionary month, let us pray that the Holy Spirit may engender a new missionary spring for all those baptized and sent by Christ’s Church.

Integrity of Justice: July Prayer Intention of Pope Francis
We are all invited to join with pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month's intention: Integrity of Justice.
Let us pray that those who administer justice may work with integrity, and that the injustice which prevails in the world may not have the last word.
Text of the video:
The decisions made by judges influence the rights and property of citizens.
Their independence should keep them safe from favoritism and from pressures that could contaminate the decisions they have to make.
Judges must follow the example of Jesus, who never negotiates the truth.
Let us pray that those who administer justice may work with integrity, and that the injustice which prevails in the world may not have the last word.
