The Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for May

General Intention: Human Trafficking

That the shameful and monstrous commerce in human beings, which sadly involves millions of women and children, may be ended.

Missionary Intention: Priests, Religious and Committed Lay People

That ordained ministers, religious women and men, and lay people involved in apostolic work may understand how to infuse missionary enthusiasm into the communities entrusted to their care.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

I offer You all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day

for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart,

in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

throughout the world,

in reparation for my sins,

for the intentions of all our associates,

and in particular for the intentions

of the Holy Father for this month.

Amen.
