Each month, the Holy Father offers a special prayer intention. In May, Pope Francis asks all Catholics to pray for the formation of religious women and men and seminarians. The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement appreciate your prayers that the Lord may bless current and future members of our order.

We pray that religious women and men, and seminarians, grow in their own vocations through their human, pastoral, spiritual and community formation, leading them to be credible witnesses to the Gospel. (USCCB)
