Pope’s prayer intention for June: that the world grow in compassion
Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for June, a month devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is ‘that the world might grow in compassion’. ‘Let us 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,’ the Pope prays in English in his first contribution to ‘The Pope Video’, a monthly reflection published by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.
