The pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network has released Pope Leo XIV’s list of prayer intentions for the year 2026.
January: For prayer with the word of God

July: For respect for human life
August: For evangelization in the city
September: For the care of water
October: For mental health ministry

Every month, Pope Leo asks Catholics around the world to pray for a particular intention. This initiative is accompanied by a video in which the pontiff expresses the reasons why he has chosen that particular intention.
March: For disarmament and peace
Let us pray that nations move toward effective disarmament, particularly nuclear disarmament, and that world leaders choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy instead of violence.
