Vatican City (Vatican), 5 March (LaPresse) – For disarmament and peace: this is Pope Leo XIV's prayer intention for the month of March, disseminated through the “Pray with the Pope” campaign, an initiative of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network. ‘We believe that you created us for communion, not for war, for brotherhood, not for destruction,’ says the Pontiff, "give us your peace and the strength to make it real in history. Today we raise our plea for peace in the world, asking that nations renounce weapons and choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy. Disarm our hearts of hatred, resentment and indifference, so that we may become instruments of reconciliation. Help us to understand that true security does not come from control fuelled by fear, but from trust, justice and solidarity among peoples. Lord, enlighten the leaders of nations, that they may have the courage to abandon plans of death, stop the arms race and focus on the lives of the most vulnerable. May the nuclear threat never again condition the future of humanity."
