This Month’s Intention from Pope Leo
For prayer with the Word of God
- January 2026
Let us pray that praying with the Word of God be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.
The Sacred Heart
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer) has a long tradition of devotion to the Heart of Jesus (Sacred Heart). It is a devotion that is intimately linked to our mission and symbolizes the love Jesus has for the world.
Morning Offering
We draw closer to the world’s suffering as we are united with Jesus. A central part of how we accomplish this is through a daily prayer of self offering, called the Morning Offering or Daily Offering. Through this prayer we ask the Father to make us available to the mission of his Son, offering him what we are and possess.
The Way of the Heart
As devoted friends of Jesus, we are encouraged to forge a deep, unbreakable bond with Him, allowing us to intimately share in His joys and sorrows for our world. “The Way of the Heart” empowers us to stand with Him and face the challenges that confront humanity and the mission of the Church.
