What are you praying for next year?

This year is only a few days old, but Pope Benedict has already posted his prayer intentions for 2013.

Two that strike me as especially interesting:

September

General: That people today, often overwhelmed by noise, may rediscover the value of silence and listen to the voice of God and their brothers and sisters.

October

General: That those feeling so crushed by life that they wish to end it may sense the nearness of God’s love.

Take a look at all of them.
