Pope Francis released his prayer intention for the month of December, inviting everyone to pray for catechists, “summoned to announce the Word of God,” that they might “be its witnesses, with courage and creativity, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, with joy and much peace.”
He says the Church needs “creative people who proclaim the Gospel, but who proclaim it neither with a mute nor with a loudspeaker, but rather with their life, with gentleness, with a new language, and opening new ways.”
Read the article from Vatican News and watch The Pope Video for December.
Let’s join Pope Francis in his prayer for catechists, praying for ourselves in our important ministry and for one another. Please pray also for those being called to serve as catechists, that they may respond to God’s call with generosity and love.
