Leo XIV: The World Is Crying Out for Mercy video link (3 minutes) Reflecting on the mercy
of God, Pope Leo says that today’s world, marked by fear, anxiety,
tension, violence, and war, urgently needs peace in the hearts of
individuals and peoples. He calls Christians to renew their trust
in God’s infinite mercy and to help build a more welcoming and
merciful society, beginning with our own families.
Pope
Leo Prayer intention for August: Let us pray that in large cities
often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to
proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build
community. ||
Prayer intention for
July (video): 'For formation in discernment'.
