The Apostleship of Prayer announced the prayer intentions chosen by the Pope for May.
The Holy Father’s universal prayer intention for May is: “That in every country in the world, women may be honoured and respected and that their essential contribution to society may be highly esteemed”.
His intention for evangelisation is: “That families, communities and groups may pray the Holy Rosary for evangelisation and peace”.
