Pope's April Intentions

The Apostleship of Prayer announced that Pope Benedict XVI will be praying this month that the youth and young adults will open their hearts to the call of our Savior to serve their church in a religious vocation. His general intention is "that many young people may hear the call of Christ and follow him in the priesthood and religious life.." And the Pontiff's mission intention is "that the risen Christ may be a sign of certain hope for the men and women of the African continent.."
