I’ve started making a morning offering, and I’m praying with a prayer that has these words in them:
“…For the intentions of all our associates, and in particular for the intention of our Holy Father for this month.”

What does “all our associates” mean? Does it mean the faithful throughout the world? Does it mean for our priests?
 
It is probably referring to people who are associated to whatever apostolate wrote the prayer.

Then that would be the St. Lawrence Seminary in Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin, because that’s what’s on the front of the booklet. Is it okay for me to pray the prayer just the way it is, or should I change that part?
 
I always thought that the associates reffered to were friends, family etc so that you prayed for all of them each morning. At that point I am inclined to remember certain people who asked for my prayers or are in need at the moment.

As Marty8181 said, the associates part of the prayer probably refers to the associates from some assocation from whence the prayer came from. It very well may refer to the associates of the “Apostleship of Prayer” which you can google on the internet. I recite a morning offering that is very similar to the ones from the Apostleship of Prayer but I leave out the associates part. I’m not sure whether you have to officially sign up with the Apostleship of Prayer to become an associate or not. Since I’m not sure who are the associates in a morning offering prayer, I simply leave it out. I don’t think God minds.
