Featured Saint of the Day: St. Cyril of Alexandria
Guest: Fr. Jim Kubicki, National Director of the Apostleship of Prayer

Today Fr. Jim talked about the Sacred Heart of Jesus as we wrap up the month of June which is traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart. He also talked about the Apostleship of Prayer whose mission is as follows from their website:

"The mission of the Apostleship of Prayer is to encourage Christians to make a daily offering of themselves to the Lord for the coming of God's Kingdom and for the Holy Father's monthly intentions. This habit of prayer encourages a Eucharistic spirituality of solidarity with the Body of Christ and loving service to others. Nourishing this spiritual program is the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus."

The Holy Father's Intentions for the month of June are:

Volunteers - That there may be an increase in the number of volunteers who offer their services to the Christian Community.
World Youth Day - That World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia may awaken the fire of divine love in young people and make them sowers of hope for a new humanity.

To view the Holy Father's Intentions for the month of July and the rest of 2008 and to commit to praying the daily offering go the Apostleship of Prayer website.
