A few weeks ago, during his Apostolic Journey to Spain, Pope Leo addressed these words in the Congress of Deputees: “Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence.” In a world marked by what Pope Francis called a “throwaway culture,” Pope Leo XIV’s July prayer intention is for respect for human life in all its states.
The Pope asks for the grace to “to recognize and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being,” learning how to “welcome life unconditionally, to tenderly care for fragility, to accompany each stage with respect, and to bravely defend those who have no voice.”
