Answered Prayer

Do you ever pray for the Holy Father's prayer intentions? Each month, we post them here - though I must admit, I've only been following them for about seven months. I ran across an article today that caught my attention:

The last Burundian refugees in Tanzania are preparing to return home ending a humanitarian crisis that began more than 30 years ago.

This subheading made me want to go back and take a second look at August's prayer. When we see things like this - answers to prayers we have raised, as one, with one voice, - we need to rejoice. We need to delight in Our God who listens to our prayers. At the very least, we need to pause and say thank you. Thank Lord, for hearing our prayers. Amen

This was the Holy Father's August prayer intention:

General: That public opinion may be more aware of the problem of millions of displaced persons and refugees and that concrete solutions may be found for their often tragic situation.
