Pope Leo's Prayer Intentions for May
Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. We want to invite you to respond to the Holy Father's request and join many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month.
That Everyone Might Have Food
Let us pray that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoid wasting food and to ensure that everyone has access to quality food.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amén.
Good Father,
make us capable of transforming the logic of selfish consumption
into a culture of solidarity.
May our communities promote concrete gestures:
awareness campaigns, food banks,
and a sober and responsible lifestyle.
You who sent us Your beloved Son Jesus,
broken bread for the life of the world,
give us a new heart, hungry for justice and thirsty for fraternity.
May no one be excluded from the common table,
and may Your Spirit teach us to see bread
not as an object of consumption,
but as a sign of communion and care.
Amen.
