In May, pray for the laity

The Holy Father has released a video message accompanying his prayer intention for May which is The Mission of the Laity.

In his prayer intention for the month of May, Pope Francis said: Lay people are on the front line of the life of the Church and he expressed his belief that We need their testimony regarding the truth of the Gospel and their example of expressing their faith by practicing solidarity.


Prayer Intentions of the Holy Father, Pope Francis
for the month of May

Lay people are on the front line of the life of the Church.

We need their testimony regarding the truth of the Gospel and their example of expressing their faith by practicing solidarity.

Let us give thanks for the lay people who take risks, who are not afraid and who offer reasons for hope to the poor, to the excluded, to the marginalized.

Let us pray together this month that the lay faithful may fulfill their specific mission, the mission that they received in Baptism, putting their creativity at the service of the challenges of today's world.
