Pope Leo XIV\u2019s prayer intention for the month of March is for disarmament and peace.<\/p>\n
In a video released on X, the Holy Father posed a question to the faithful: \u201cWould you imagine what a world without wars would be like? A world without the terror of approaching explosions? Without rocket alarms shattering the silence of the night?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease join me in prayer this month for disarmament and peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In the full video shared on the Pope\u2019s Worldwide Prayer Network website, Pope Leo recites an original prayer written specifically for this month\u2019s prayer intention.<\/p>\n
Here is the pope\u2019s full prayer:<\/p>\n
Lord of Life,<\/p>\n
you shaped every human being in your image and likeness.<\/p>\n
We believe you created us for communion, not for war,<\/p>\n
for fraternity, not for destruction.<\/p>\n
You who greeted your disciples saying, \u201cPeace be with you,\u201d<\/p>\n
grant us the gift of your peace<\/p>\n
and the strength to make it a reality in history.<\/p>\n
Today we lift up our prayer for peace in the world,<\/p>\n
asking that nations renounce weapons<\/p>\n
and choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy.<\/p>\n
Disarm our hearts of hatred, resentment, and indifference,<\/p>\n
so we may become instruments of reconciliation.<\/p>\n
Help us understand that true security<\/p>\n
does not come from control fueled by fear,<\/p>\n
but from trust, justice, and solidarity among peoples.<\/p>\n
Lord, enlighten the leaders of the nations,<\/p>\n
so they may have the courage to abandon projects of death,<\/p>\n
halt the arms race,<\/p>\n
and place the lives of the most vulnerable at the center.<\/p>\n
May the nuclear threat never again dictate the future of humanity.<\/p>\n
\u5723\u7075\uff0c<\/p>\n
make us faithful and creative builders of daily peace:<\/p>\n
in our hearts, our families,<\/p>\n
our communities, and our cities.<\/p>\n
May every kind word, every gesture of reconciliation,<\/p>\n
and every choice for dialogue be seeds of a new world.<\/p>\n
