Pope Francis' prayer intention for the month of May 2018

For May 2018, Pope Francis prays for the mission of the laity in evangelization, that the laity may fulfill their special mission by responding with creativity to the challenges that face the world today.  

In his Apostolic exhortation issued in April 2018, Guadete et Exsultate, Pope Francis states that to extent that we the faithful are able to grow in holiness, we will be able to bear greater fruit for our world.  Pope Francis quotes the Bishops of West Africa, who state: “we are being called in the spirit of the New Evangelization to be evangelized and to evangelize through the empowering of all you, the baptized, to take up your roles as salt of the earth and light of the world wherever you find yourselves”. (paragraph 34).
