Pope Leo X1V Intention for August: For mutual coexistence Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons. Make us builders of bridges, able to overcome borders and ideologies, able to see others through the eyes of the heart, recognizing in every person an inviolable dignity,” Pope Leo prays, before concluding, “Help us to create spaces where hope can flourish, where diversity is not a threat but a richness that makes us more human.”
