By the 1880’s, Pope Leo XIII could see that this simple, profound way of life was spreading. So, he announced prayer intentions for every month to go with the Daily Offering. These prayer intentions would unite the entire Catholic Church. They would bring members closer to each other and closer to Christ. Pope Pius XI added a specific missionary intention for each month back in 1929. These intentions are prayed specifically for those who make a commitment to spreading the Gospel around the world. Today, the Holy Father still announces two monthly intentions.

On its 100th anniversary in 1944, Pope Pius XII gave thanks to God for the Apostleship of Prayer, calling it "one of the most efficacious means for the salvation of souls, since it concerns prayer and prayer in common." He commended the organization for its goal: "to pray assiduously for the needs of the Church and to try to satisfy them through daily offering."
