Intention of the Holy Father
Let us pray that Christians living in contexts of war or conflict, especially in the Middle East, may be seeds of peace, reconciliation, and hope.
Intention of the BISHOPS
We pray to you, Lord, for Christians who have distanced themselves from the Church: may they return to the sacramental life to discover the beauty and saving power of the signs of your grace.
Christian compassion was manifested in a peculiar way in the care of the sick
and of the suffering. In the act of healing a wound,
the Church announces that the Kingdom of God
It starts among the most vulnerable. And in doing so,
remains faithful to the one who said: "I was sick and you visited me" (Mt 25:36).
When the Church kneels beside a leper,
to a malnourished child or to an anonymous dying person, he realizes his deepest vocation:
to love the Lord where he is most disfigured."
(Leo XIV, I loved you, n. 52)

Intention of the BISHOPS
We pray to you, Lord, for the synodal journey of the Churches in Italy: may our communities be capable of listening and sharing in order to make courageous and prophetic choices.
Every person needs a "center" to their life, a source of truth and goodness from which to draw to face the various situations and struggles of daily life. Each of us, when we are silent, needs to hear not only the beating of our own heart, but also, more profoundly, the beating of a reliable presence, perceptible to the senses of faith and yet much more real: the presence of Christ, the Heart of the world.
Francis, Dilexit nos, 81

Intention of the BISHOPS
We pray to you, Lord, for the community of believers: may it be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world", to reawaken the desire for you, written in the heart of every man and every woman.
In the Gospel the best expression of what a heart thinks are the two passages of St. Luke, which tell us that Mary "guarded (synethere) all these things, meditating on them (symballoususa) in his heart." The verb symballein means: to ponder, to bring two things together in the mind and examine oneself, to reflect, to dialogue with oneself; I would diet means “she carefully preserved”, and what she preserved was not only the “scene” she saw, but also what she did not yet understand and yet remained present and alive, waiting to put everything together in her heart

Let us pray that our communities may discover the beauty of true communion, made of authentic sharing of broken bread, and work together to build full and lasting peace in the world.
"A great rebirth of faith is needed, and new and humble disciples of Christ must emerge from the heart of the Church, souls vibrant with faith, porters of God, sowers of faith! And it must be a faith applied to life. It takes a spirit of faith, ardor of faith, impetus of faith;
faith of love, charity of faith,
sacrifice of faith!
Saint Luigi Orione
