Apostleship of Prayer

Each month the Pope entrusts a prayer intention to his Worldwide Prayer Network, the Apostleship of Prayer. These intentions, which express the Pope’s concern for humanity and the mission of the Church, are made available along with a morning and evening prayer. Let’s join many others around the world and pray with the Pope.

Let us pray that believers in different religious traditions might work together to defend and promote peace, justice, and human fraternity.

Morning Prayer

God, thank you for this new day. Please guide my thoughts, words, and actions, and help me to live in a way that is pleasing to you. Amen.”
“Lord, as I begin this day, I ask for your guidance and strength. Help me to be mindful of your presence in all that I do and to reflect your love to those around me.”

Evening Prayer

We thank you tonight for the good day and for the special way you take care of us all the time.
Thank you for creating us special, exactly the way you wanted.
Forgive us for the wrong things we do.
Thank you for loving us even when we try to do things our way.
Help us to always choose your way, God, because it’s always best.

From Pope Leo XIV

• God loves us, all of us; evil will not prevail. We are all in the hands of God. Without fear, united, hand in hand with God and among ourselves, we will go forward. We are disciples of Christ, Christ goes before us, and the world needs His light.
  • Humanity needs him like a bridge to reach God and His love. You help us to build bridges with dialogue and encounter, so we can all be one people, always in peace.
  • We are often preoccupied with teaching doctrine, the way of living our faith, but we risk forgetting that our first task is to teach what it means to know Jesus Christ closely. This comes first: to communicate the beauty of the faith, the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus. It means that we ourselves are living it and sharing this experience.
