Here, belatedly, are the Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for the first month of 2007:
General Prayer Intention: In our time, unfortunately marked by many episodes of violence, the pastors of the Church may continue to indicate the way of peace and understanding among peoples.
Missionary Prayer Intention: That the Church in Africa may become a constantly more authentic witness of the Good News of Christ and be committed, in every nation, to the promotion of reconciliation and peace.
