Papal Intentions For May

This month, Pope Francis asks us to pray that, “rejecting the culture of indifference, we may care for our neighbors who suffer, especially the sick and the poor.” He also asks us to pray for an “openness to mission,” and that “Mary’s intercession may help Christians in secularized cultures be open to proclaiming Jesus.”

The sick and the poor are often forgotten in our society, and fears keep us from preaching Christ to those around us. Please join us in praying with the Holy Father, that we may encounter all with love and a New Evangelization.

Saint John Paul II, Pray for Us!
