Beginning this month, and in continuity with the mission launched by Pope Francis, Pope Leo XIV will share his monthly prayer intention through both&nbsp;<b>video<\/b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>audio<\/b>, inviting the universal Church and all people of good will to unite spiritually, using the&nbsp;<b>same prayer&nbsp;<\/b>that will now be&nbsp;<b>led by the Pope himself<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n<p>This initiative aims to increase the visibility of the Pope\u2019s prayer intentions, using a language suitable for prayer, in new formats, so as to better reach the faithful throughout the world, especially in today\u2019s world of digital communication.<\/p>\n\n<p><b>The intention for January: \u201c<i>For prayer with the Word of God<\/i>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n\n<p>This intention invites us to rediscover the spiritual power of the Sacred Scriptures as a privileged place to encounter Christ. In his first message, Pope Leo proposes prayer that is centered on the Word as light for discernment, nourishment in times of weariness, hope in the darkness, and the foundation of a Church constructed on the Gospel.<\/p>\n\n<p>The prayer recited by the Holy Father asks for the grace of being open to daily listening to the Scriptures, allowing ourselves to be challenged by them, and that they guide both personal and communitarian decisions. Moreover, he underlines the missionary dimension of the Word, which makes each believer a disciple who serves, forgives, builds bridges, and proclaims life.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<i><i>Source:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.popesprayer.va\/praywiththepope\/\">https:\/\/www.popesprayer.va\/praywiththepope\/<\/a><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s1CBCcEIkME?si=w55caAYuxNW6ix7l\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An invitation from the Holy Father to pray for the challenges facing humanity The Pope\u2019s Worldwide Prayer Network and the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11616,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nouvelle"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
