Pope Dedicates Prayer in April to Youth

The Apostleship of Prayer announced the intentions chosen by the Pope for this month.

His general intention is: "That through its compelling preaching of the Gospel, the Church may give young people new reasons for life and hope."

The Pontiff's apostolic intention for April is: "That by proclamation of the Gospel and the witness of their lives, missionaries may bring Christ to those who do not yet know him."
