Prayer Intentions for May
The Pope’s Prayer for May is for the Laity: The laity are a fundamental part of the Church. Our commitment, our testimony, and our service, especially in the most difficult situations, help to spread the truth of the Gospel.
“Lay people are on the front line of the life of the Church. We need their testimony regarding the truth of the Gospel and their example of expressing their faith by practicing solidarity.
Let us give thanks for the lay people who take risks, who are not afraid and who offer reasons for hope to the poorest, to the excluded, to the marginalized.
Let us pray together this month that the lay faithful may fulfill their specific mission, the mission that they received in Baptism, putting their creativity at the service of the challenges of today's world. ”
CHILD SAFEGUARDING
Life is so hectic that sometimes we use our cars because it is easier... but take time to think about the journeys you are likely to make next week. Can you leave your car at home and use the bus or Dublin Bikes or walk? It is more environmentally friendly, good for your health and may cost you less. Think Green!
