After last Sunday's Angelus Prayer in Rome, Pope Leo XIV asked the faithful to pray for the following.

On the occasion of World Mission Day (last Sunday):
Let us pray that the Church may always remain faithful to the mandate of the Risen Lord: “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation”
— Let us pray to the Lord.

We pray for the intentions of the Ariëns community:

For Ariëns KSE.
For those doing exams and finishing projects. In particular for those in their first year. May the Lord grant us the Wisdom and Spirit to succeed in our aspirations.
For our Ariëns Team, that we may find new members for our board soon to join our team in our mission to share the joy of our faith with fellow students.
We also pray in thanksgiving for the people we meet through Ariëns. We ask the Lord to help us grow as a group where Catholic students feel at home. Inspire us to spread the joy of the Gospel.
— Let us pray to the Lord.

For our priests.
We pray for their well being. May the Holy Spirit give them the joy and strength to fulfil their ministry.
— Let us pray to the Lord.

For peace in all places of conflict.
We pray for peace in the world, especially in Ukraine, the Middle-East, and the parts of Africa torn by violence. We also pray for peace and charity with the people  we encounter in our every day life. Lord Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto yours.
— Let us pray to the Lord.

Magnificat

My + soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, †

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior *

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed: †

the Almighty has done great things for me, *

and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him *

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm, *

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, *

and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things, *

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel *

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

the promise he made to our fathers, *

to Abraham and his children for ever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *

and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now, *

and will be for ever. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel

St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
