Pope Leo XIV's Prayer Intention

  레오 14세 교황의 기도지향 – 5월

  [모든 사람을 위한 식량]
  대규모 생산자부터 소규모 소비자에 이르기까지 식량 낭비를 줄여 모든 사람이 좋은 음식을 먹을 수 있게 보장하고자 노력하게 하소서.
  우리 주 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 비나이다. 아멘.

  Pope Leo XIV’s prayer intention for the month of May

  That everyone might have food.

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

  Pray with the Pope

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Lord of creation,
  You gave us the fertile earth and, with it, our daily bread,
  as a sign of Your love and providence.

  Today we recognize with sorrow
  that millions of brothers and sisters continue to suffer from hunger,
  while so many goods are wasted at our tables.

  Awaken in us a new awareness:
  that we learn to thank for every food,
  to consume simply,
  to share with joy,
  and to care for the fruits of the earth as a gift from You,
  destined for all, not just a few.

  Good Father,
  make us capable of transforming the logic of selfish consumption
  into a culture of solidarity.
  May our communities promote concrete gestures:
  awareness campaigns, food banks,
  and a sober and responsible lifestyle.

  You who sent us Your beloved Son Jesus,
  broken bread for the life of the world,
  give us a new heart, hungry for justice and thirsty for fraternity.
  May no one be excluded from the common table,
  and may Your Spirit teach us to see bread
  not as an object of consumption,
  but as a sign of communion and care.

  Amen.
