"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and laughs at the days to come. She opens her mouth in wisdom; kindly instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed." Proverbs 31: 25-28



Happy Mother's Day!

2026 Prayer Intentions

Pope Leo XIV's prayer intentions for 2026 reflect the Church's mission and the Pope's desire to unite in prayer on various global issues.

Pope Leo XIV's May 2026 Prayer Intention is that everyone might have food.

Let us pray that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoiding wasting food and ensuring that everyone has access to quality food.

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with grateful hearts for the gift of food that sustains our lives.

We pray that all people—those who produce, distribute, and consume—may act with care and responsibility, avoiding waste and honoring the abundance You have provided.

Guide us to be mindful of those who go without,

and inspire compassion in our hearts so that we may share generously with others.

May leaders and communities work together to ensure that everyone, everywhere, has access to nourishing, high-quality food.

Bless the hands that grow and prepare our meals,

and help us to be stewards of Your creation,

so that no one may hunger and all may be fed.

Amen.

Let us lift these intentions in prayer...
