Women in Leadership Roles in the Church: October 2020 Prayer Intention of Pope Francis
Join with Pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month's intention: Women in Leadership Roles in the Church

We are all invited to join with Pope Francis and his worldwide prayer network in praying this month's intention: Women in Leadership Roles in the Church.
No one has been baptized a priest or a bishop. We have all been baptized as lay people.
Lay people are protagonists of the Church.
Today, it is especially necessary to create broader opportunities for a more incisive female presence in the Church.
And we must emphasize the feminine lay presence because women tend to be left aside.
We must promote the integration of women, especially where important decisions are made.
We pray that by the virtue of baptism, the laity, especially women, may participate more in areas of responsibility in the Church, without falling into forms of clericalism that diminish the lay charism.
—Pope Francis, October 2020
We invite you to post a prayer or reflection in our prayer space
