Here are Pope benedict XVI's prayer intentions for the month of October:
General prayer intention:
That Christians may not be discouraged by the attacks of secularized society, but with complete trust, may bear witness to their faith and hope.
Missionary prayer intention:
That the faithful may join to their fundamental duty of prayer the support also of economic contributions to the missionary works.
I just saw those... I think the first one fits really well into the talk for Network large group that I'm giving next Monday on vocations. (It's me, representing the married vocation and Sr. Sarah, representing the consecrated life... how cool is that, especially since we were prayer partners for NFK 53, back when she was just Sarah and I was just me).
Oh, and also, Katie informed me (via her Google news alerts) that 11 Oct is the feast of Our Lady of La Leche. There is going to be a big celebration in the Philipenes for the feast.
