We need this.

Pope Leo has released his first prayer intention, for the month of June: 

Pope Leo XIV’s monthly prayer intention for June, the month traditionally dedicated to devotion to the Heart of Jesus, is “that the world might grow in compassion.”

The Pope invited the Church to pray for this intention in this month’s The Pope Video, which is entrusted to the entire Catholic Church through the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.

For the first time since the Holy Father’s election as 266th Successor of Peter on 8 May 2025, we hear Pope Leo XIV’s voice presenting The Pope Video prayer intention.

The Pope Video for June begins with hearing Pope Leo pray “that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from His Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.”
