May Reflection – For faith-filled young people
We pray for all young people, called to live life to the fullest; may they see in Mary’s life the way to listen, the depth of discernment, the courage that faith generates, and the dedication to service.
Our Church has been blessed with many young saints. And even more so today, young people have contemporary men and women from whom they can take inspiration like the tennis playing Bl. Chiara Luce Badano or the internet savvy Bl. Carlo Acutis.
The Pope Video is a global initiative developed by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer) to assist in the dissemination of the Holy Father’s monthly intentions related to the challenges facing humanity.

Prayer of the Month – May 2022
Lord our God, you chose Mary to be the mother of your Son.
You chose her from the very beginning for this mission and in so doing preserved her from the stain of original sin.
We ask Mary to join us in our prayer. By the power of the gospel message, may young people heed the call of Jesus to repent and turn away from sin. Guide their steps so that they may always choose what is good and holy.
Open their ears and hearts to hear how you are calling them to serve You and their neighbor. Embolden them with courage as they face difficulties in their life. Deepen their faith and trust in your love and mercy. Open their eyes to see the needs of their brothers and sisters and respond with help.
May they turn to the communion of saints, especially to the Mary, Queen of all Saints, and other young men and women who have walked the journey of life. By their prayers and example may they one day merit the grace of eternal life. Amen.
