Lord, I come to Your tender Heart today,
to You who have words that set my heart ablaze,
to You who pour out compassion
on the little ones and the poor,
on those who suffer, and on all human miseries.
I desire to know You more, to contemplate
You in the Gospel, to be with You and learn from You
and from the charity with which You allowed
Yourself to be touched by all forms of poverty.
You showed us the Father’s love by loving us
without measure with Your divine and human Heart.
Grant all Your children the grace of encountering You.
Change, shape, and transform our plans,
so that we seek only You
in every circumstance: in prayer, in work,
in encounters, and in our daily routine.
From this encounter, send us out on mission,
a mission of compassion
for the world in which You are the source from
which all consolation flows.

– Pope Leo XIV – Intention for June
