POPE JOHN PAUL II'S INTENTIONS FOR AUGUST 2002:

General: Development of consciences that respect the environment. That all of us, individually and collectively, may develop a growing respect for the environment as God's gift to us.

Mission: Prayerful support for missionaries who work in the world's shantytowns. That the missionaries in the world's vast shantytowns may manage to alleviate the suffering that injustice inflicts and help the people living in them to develop to the fullest.
