Pope Leo XIV' prayer                                   intention for August is                       For evangelization in the city 

​

Lord Jesus, Good Shepherd,

You walk through our streets and squares,

enter tall buildings and humble neighborhoods,

and silently accompany millions who seek meaning amid noise and haste.

You know, Lord, the heart of the city:

its lights and shadows, its noise and loneliness.

We know that cities are called to be places of freedom and opportunity, but they can also become spaces of anonymity and isolation.

That’s why today we ask You for a renewed gaze,

able to discover in urban life fertile ground for proclaiming your Gospel.

Give us a creative and deep faith, that doesn’t remain in words, but becomes flesh through simple and loving gestures.

Amen.
