Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intentions are for the world to grow in compassion through a personal relationship with Jesus.
Pope Leo XIV says, “The Heart of Christ, pierced for love, is the living and life-giving flesh that embraces each of us and conforms us to the image of the Good Shepherd. There, we discover the true nature of our ministry. Consumed by God’s mercy, we become joyful witnesses of his love that heals, accompanies, and redeems.” [27 June 2025 – Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus]
This is a new short prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus from the Pope that can be prayed daily throughout the year.
Pope Leo XIV's Prayer
To the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Lord, I come to Your tender Heart today, to You who have words that set my heart ablaze, to You who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor, on those who suffer, and on all human miseries.
I desire to know You more, to contemplate You in the Gospel, to be with You and learn from You and from the charity with which You allowed Yourself to be touched by all forms of poverty.
You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure with Your divine and human Heart.
Grant all Your children the grace of encountering You. Change, shape, and transform our plans, so that we seek only You in every circumstance: in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine.
From this encounter, send us out on mission, a mission of compassion for the world in which You are the source from which all consolation flows.
Amen.
