Saint Gregory VII, Pope, pray for us!

Saint Bede the Venerable, Priest and Doctor of the Church, pray for us!

God of power and mercy, you destroy war and put down earthly pride. Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters. Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them safely into your kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Most Rev. Paul S. Coakley, Archbishop of Oklahoma City and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, welcomes Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. All are encouraged to read the encyclical prayerfully and consider how its teaching can be applied in daily life. @ArchbishopOKC

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Archbishop Coakley Welcomes Pope Leo XIV’s Encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas “The Church in the United States welcomes the publication of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical letter, Magnifica Humanitas, with gratitude and praise. It is a powerful reminder that no technology can replace a child of God, and all technology should be placed at the service of helping humanity thrive.” | Read the full release at: ow.ly/kzWv50Z3Leo @ArchbishopOKC
