Prayer Intentions

  • In the current geo-political crisis, as the world waits with bated breath and Christians pray for peace, we applaud the courage and strength of The Vicar of Christ who has called out those that “turn a blind eye to the killing and devastation”.

    In his first address as Pope, Leo stated

    “We are disciples of Christ. Christ goes before us. The world needs his light. Humanity needs him as the bridge to be reached by God and his love……help each other to build bridges, with dialogue, with encounters, uniting us all to be one people, always at peace”.

    How proud are Catholics world-wide that our Pastor does not merely offer opinion on theology but is preaching the Gospel of Christ, and the peace of the risen Christ, a “disarming and humble and preserving peace”.

    We pray for Our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV.
