Come Holy Spirit upon the Church: Strengthen and enlighten her. Give to your people the outpouring of your grace: Teach, console and enlighten all to whom you have been given. Come, Holy Spirit, come.

Holy Father's intentions for May 2008
General: That Christians may use literature, art and the media to greater advantage to favour a culture which defends and promotes the values of the human person.
Mission: That just as she accompanied the Apostles in the early stages of the Church, may the Blessed Virgin Mary, Star of Evangelization and Queen of Apostles, continue to guide missionaries throughout the world with maternal affection.

The first reading from the prophet Zechariah tells us that our King, our Messiah comes humbly to us. He comes “riding on a donkey...He will proclaim peace to the nations".
