Pope Leo XIV

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 June 2026 Prayer Intention is for the values of sports.

Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

This intention reflects the Church’s hope that athletic activities can foster unity, mutual understanding, and positive human relationships across different communities.

God of all peoples and nations,

You created us to live in communion with one another,

bound together in dignity, hope, and love.

We thank You for the gift of sports,

which bring people together across languages, cultures, and borders.

May every field, court, track, and arena

become a place of encounter and friendship,

where respect is stronger than rivalry

and unity triumphs over division.

Teach athletes, coaches, families, and fans

to honor one another with fairness and compassion.

May competition inspire excellence without pride,

and may teamwork nurture solidarity, perseverance, and peace.

Help young people especially to grow

in character, discipline, and confidence,

learning to value each person as a brother or sister.

Lord, in a world often marked by conflict and misunderstanding,

may sports become a bridge between cultures and nations,

opening hearts to dialogue, reconciliation, and mutual understanding.

Guide us to use every opportunity for play and competition

to build a more just and peaceful world,

reflecting Your love in all we do.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
