Pope Benedict's July Prayer Intentions & travel plans

To wit:

Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for July is: "That there may be an increase in the number of those who, as volunteers, offer their services to the Christian community with generous and prompt availability".

His mission intention is: "That the World Youth Day held in Sydney, Australia, may awaken the fire of divine love in young people and make them sowers of hope for a new humanity".

Until August 13th (and except for World Youth Day) Pope Benedict will be on vacation.

But no worries, we'll still be keeping track of him.
