Pope Leo`s October            prayer intention:  

       

          Collaboration among religion

                                                                                              The Pope's prayer begins, "Lord Jesus,

You, who in diversity are one and look lovingly at every person, help us to recognize ourselves as brothers and sisters, called to live, pray, work, and dream together."

    He acknowledges that despite being "a world full of beauty," it is "also wounded by deep divisions," where "sometimes," he lamented, "religions, instead of uniting us, become a cause of confrontation."

   Hence, he implores, "Give us your Spirit to purify our hearts, so that we may recognize what unites us and, from there, learn again how to listen and collaborate without destroying. "May religions not be used as weapons or walls, but rather lived as bridges and prophecy: making the dream of the common good credible, accompanying life, sustaining hope and being the yeast of unity in a fragmented world. Amen," Pope Leo concludes.
