Join the FutureChurch team in evening prayer each night of the conclave, beginning on May 6th. Together we will pray for the future of our church and of our world.
FutureChurch joins Catholics around the world in a spirit of solidarity and hope in praying for Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV, and our entire global community.

Loving God,
We pray today for Pope Leo XIV,
called to guide our Church into a new chapter.
Give him a heart that listens deeply—
to Your Spirit,
to the people,
to the cries of the world.
Give him the courage to speak with honesty,
and the humility to lead with love.
Let him be a voice for justice,
a bridge between peoples,
a shepherd who walks with everyone. .
Inspire him to dream big—
of a Church that welcomes all,
that lifts up women
that protects creation
and seeks peace and justice with boldness.
Keep him grounded in the Gospel
and open to the winds of change You send.
May he help build a Church that truly looks like Jesus—
compassionate, inclusive, brave.
Holy Spirit, stay close to him.
And stay close to us too,
as we walk together toward the Church you’re calling us to be.
AMEN
