Pope Leo's Lenten Message 

This Lent, Pope Leo XIV reminds us to grow closer to God through listening and fasting. Listening means paying attention to God’s word and to the needs of others, especially those who are hurting. Fasting helps us focus on what really matters, letting go of distractions and choosing kindness, including being careful with our words.

Pope Leo’s Prayer Intention: This month, he asks us to pray for peace in the world, that nations choose dialogue instead of conflict, and that leaders work to reduce dangerous weapons so everyone can live safely. 

Families might like to join in this prayer at home, asking God to guide leaders, bring peace, and help people work together for the good of all.

Family Lenten Challenge: This week, try choosing one kind word each day—to a family member, friend, or someone in your community—to practice the Pope’s message of listening, care, and kindness.
