The Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for September

General Intention: The Word of God as Sign of Social Development

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 Intention: The End of War

That by opening our hearts to love we may put an end to the numerous wars and conflicts which continue to bloody our world.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

I offer You all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day

for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart,

in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

throughout the world,

in reparation for my sins,

for the intentions of all our associates,

and in particular for the intentions

of the Holy Father for this month.

Amen.
