Pope LeoXIV met a lady who is visually impaired.
And because he knew that she could not see him, he took her hand and placed it on his face and his chest so she could feel him, and her face immediately gave the brightest smile😩❤️.
Let us #PrayTogether that sports may be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, in order to promote the values of respect, solidarity, and personal growth. #PrayerIntention@clicktopray_en https://t.co/S3TtsnBEer
Continuing his catechetical series on the Dogmatic Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, Pope Leo XIV reflects on the elements of the Rite and active participation:
“The Rite of the Christian liturgy is the ecclesial mediation through which the divine gift reaches us. In the liturgy, we are invited to participate, body, mind, and heart, and enter into a dimension inhabited by the Holy Spirit. In order to enter into this dimension, the liturgy is woven with signs and symbols that have a performative and transformative dimension.
For example, kneeling is a sign of our worship of God. While exchanging the sign of peace, points to our ecclesial communion.
Further, signs help us to recall the constitutive acts of the Sacraments, as when we are sprinkled with holy water, we remember our commitment to Christ.
As we prepare for the solemnity of Corpus Christi, may each of us reawaken our openness to an encounter with God by rediscovering the signs and symbols of the sacred liturgy.”
The Pope’s Prayer intention for the month of June is to pray “for the values of sports”, that all sport may promote peace, fraternity and communion.
“Lord of life, we thank you for the gift of sport, for those who glorify God through the exercise of their bodies, for the friendships born on the field and the joy of playing as a team.
You teach us that in life, as in the game, no one is saved alone. We need others to grow, to learn respect, to overcome our limits, and to celebrate together the victories we achieve.”
Abster-se de toda forma de violência verbal ou física na vida diária e também nas redes sociais: este foi a pedido do Papa ao rezar o Terço pela Paz na conclusão do mês mariano, nos Jardins Vaticanos 🙏
Pope Leo XIV offers a bouquet of white flowers to Mary in the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Vatican Gardens. The choir, joined by the faithful and the Holy Father, sings “Mira il tuo popolo” to Our Lady before the Holy Rosary for Peace at the close of the Marian Month of May.
The English words for the hymn are:
“Look upon your people, Beautiful Lady,
Who falls at your feet to implore your love.
“Holy Virgin, pray for me.
Your kind and most merciful heart
is a refuge for the sinner.”
