For January 2026, we accept Pope Leo’s invitation to us to pray the following intention:

That praying with the Word of God may be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us build a more fraternal and
missionary Church.

​

As we begin a new year, Pope Leo calls the faithful to rediscover the power of Scripture in daily life. His prayer intention for January focuses on prayer with the Word of God. The Holy Father reminds us that opening our hearts to the living Word is not only personal nourishment but also a wellspring of hope for our families, parishes, and wider communities. 

When we pray with Scripture -whether through lectio divina, the daily readings at mas, or quiet reflection- we allow God's voice to shape our lives. This practice strengthens us to live as missionary disciples, sharing Christ's love in a world that longs for fraternity and peace. 

In our parishes, let us take up this invitation by setting aside time each day to pray with the Gospel. Consider joining a Bible study, praying the psalms or simply carrying a verse with you throughout the day. In doing so, we participate in Pope's vision of a Church rooted in God's Word and radiant with hope. 

Prayer: Lord, may Your Word be our daily bread. Nourish us with
Scripture inspires us with hope and guides us to build a Church of
fraternity and mission. Amen.
