There are conflicts and tensions that endanger the lives and coexistence of peoples, which can stretch on for years if the path of dialogue and reconciliation is not chosen. This becomes especially concerning for the most vulnerable and for future generations. Pope Leo*, in his prayer intention for March, invites us to pray so that nations renounce weapons, adopt diplomacy and justice, and seek true security based on trust and solidarity among peoples.

In this month’s prayer, the Holy Father invites us to pray so that “every kind word, every gesture of reconciliation, and every decision for dialogue may be seeds of a new world.”

You are not alone: by praying, you join millions of people from the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network who, from every corner of the world, pray for the challenges of humanity and the mission of the Church.

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

Lord of Life, who fashioned every human being in your image and likeness, we believe that you created us for communion, not for war, for fraternity, not for destruction.

You who greeted your disciples saying, “Peace be with you,” grant us the gift of your peace and the strength to make it a reality in history. Today we lift up our plea for peace in the world, praying that nations renounce weapons and choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy.

Disarm our hearts of hatred, resentment, and indifference, so that we may be instruments of reconciliation. Help us to understand that true security is not born from the control that feeds fear, but from trust, justice, and solidarity among peoples.

Lord, enlighten the leaders of nations, so that they may have the courage to abandon projects of death, halt the arms race, and place the lives of the most vulnerable at the center. May the nuclear threat never again condition the future of humanity.

Holy Spirit, make us faithful and creative builders of everyday peace: in our hearts, our families, our communities, and our cities. May every kind word, every gesture of reconciliation, and every decision for dialogue be seeds of a new world.

Amen.
