Pray with Pope Leo XIV, August 2026

Bishop John Dolan shares a personal video reflection on Pope Leo XIV’s August 2026 prayer intention: Let us pray that in large cities often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build community. 

The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network promotes the Holy Father’s monthly prayer intention through The Pope Video, which since 2016 has had more than 253 million views across all the Vatican’s social networks, and is translated into more than 23 languages, receiving press coverage in 114 countries.
