Pope Leo XIV's Prayer Intentions

August is dedicated to 'mutual coexistence' or 'accepting everyone'. 

Pope Leo XIV has asked the world to pray for mutual coexistence during the month of August. 

There is an old saying, “If everyone was the same then the world would be a very boring place.” 

We need to accept and value our similarities and differences. 

This needs to be encouraged by our faith, community and world leaders. 

Often the change needs to begin with us, the everyday people. 

Please try to find some quiet time in your busy day to pray Pope Leo's Prayer Intention for the month of August. 

Thank you. 

For mutual coexistence

Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons. 

Amen
