Pope Francis in his prayer intention for the month of May invites the Church to pray for young Catholics to be courageous in their response to God's call to holiness."When I think of a model with whom young people can identify, our Mother, Mary, always comes to mind: her courage, the way she knew how to listen, and her dedication to service," the pope said in his May 2022 video prayer message.
While the Church traditionally marks May as the Marian month, it is also preparing for the upcoming World Meeting of Families in late June.
Pope Francis held up Mary's courageous and determined "yes" to the Lord, and called on young Catholics to imitate her readiness to improve the world ."Don't forget that in order to follow Mary you need to discern and discover what Jesus wants from you, not what you might think you can do," said the pope.
