Vatican, 02 May, 2023 / 1:52 pm (ACI Africa).
Pope Francis’ prayer intention for the month of May is for ecclesial movements and groups.
“Ecclesial movements are a gift; they are a treasure in the Church,” the Holy Father said in a video released by the Vatican on May 2.
“These movements renew the Church with their capacity for dialogue at the service of her evangelizing mission,” he said. “Each day, they rediscover in their charism new ways of showing the attractiveness and the newness of the Gospel.”
“How do they do this? Speaking different languages, they seem different, but it is their creativity that creates these differences. But always understanding themselves and making themselves understood.”
He added: “Always be on the move, responding to the impulse of the Holy Spirit to the challenges, to the changes in today’s world.”
