Vatican's Prayer Intentions for the Month of March 2012, for universal women

As the world women's Day is celebrated in the month of March, keeping this in view, the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, who is the heir of Apostle St. Peter, has announced the prayer intentions for March 2012.

In the general prayer intentions released by the Pontiff he has asked the universal Catholic community to pray: "That the whole world may recognize the contribution of women to the development of society."


He has also asked the Catholics world-wide to pray for his missionary intention, "That the Holy Spirit may grant perseverance to those who suffer discrimination, persecution or death for the name of Lord Jesus Christ, particularly in Asian countries."


Let all the Christians pray for these two intentions particularly during the season of lent.
