The Pope has monthly intention which he asks people to pray for. The ones for this month are:
General: That human society may be solicitous in the care of all those stricken with AIDS, especially children and women, and that the Church may make them feel the Lord's love.
Mission: That the incarnation of the Son of God, which the Church celebrates solemnly at Christmas, may help the peoples of the Asiatic Continent to recognize God's Envoy, the only Savior of the world, in Jesus.

The pope's intentions are the things the Pope is currently praying for.
Your intentions are the things you're currently praying for.
The "prayer for the Pope's intention" referenced is one Our Father and one Hail Mary; of course, other prayers may be said as well.
