On the twenty-sixth day of the Extraordinary Month of Mission, let us stand united with the Holy Father and pray for all the lay leaders of the church. Each one among the laity, who chooses to surrender themselves to the activities of the mission, is a leader. Therefore, let us pray for more and more lay leaders to come up towards the missionary front. For its not just the responsibility of the priests and religious, but also each one of the Chosen members of the Church to ensure all sections of society are equally developed and civilized.
