Pope Leo XIV

Intention for Month of February: For children with incurable diseases. Let us pray that children suffering from incurable diseases and their families receive the necessary medical care and support, never losing strength and hope.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifax: I encourage you to join my World Prayer Network, which unites diverse cultures, languages, and charisms in the common mission. I especially invite young people to take part, so that they may form the next generation of intercessors for the needs of the whole world.

Intention for Month of January: We pray that praying with the Word of God will be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifax: At the dawn of the new year, the Liturgy reminds us that for each of us, every day can be the beginning of a new life, thanks to God’s generous love, his mercy and the response of our freedom.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifax: In the Nativity scene, popular imagination has often inserted many figures drawn from daily life, populating the space around the grotto. They remind us that all our activities, all our daily occupationsacquire their full meaning within God’s plan, which has its center in Jesus.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifax: Peace exists; it wants to dwell within us. Peace has the gentle power to enlighten and expand our understanding; it resists and overcomes violence. Peace is a breath of the eternal: while to evil we cry out “Enough,” to peace we whisper “Forever.” Into this horizon the Risen One has led us.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifax: I raise my gratitude to the Lord for having shared these days with you, as I carry your sufferings and hopes in my heart. Let us strive ahead together. Let us hope to involve the entire Middle East in this spirit of fraternity and commitment to peace, including those who currently consider themselves
enemies. May God bless Lebanon, the Middle East, and all humanity.
