Challenges for Prayer
The Pope is head of the single largest religious body on earth and of a state that is the outcome of a long history and of a unique conception of what the role of the Church in the world should be. He exercises an enormous influence within and beyond the Roman Catholic Church. Pray for the right man to fill the post for the right time, and pray for the redemptive use of the Vatican’s formidable politico-religious influence.The Roman Catholic Church is going through a time of turmoil and change. There are many doctrines and positions that divide this increasingly diverse body – ecumenism, the celibacy of the priesthood, the position of women, homosexuality and issues of AIDS and contraception. Pray for the essence of the gospel to be recaptured and for unbiblical forms and practices to be excised from the Church.
