Papst Leo XIV.: Botschaft zur ökumenischen Gebetsveranstaltung „Thy Kingdom Come“ - 14. Mai 2026

Pope Leo XIV has endorsed the worldwide ecumenical prayer initiative "Thy Kingdom Come" and called on Christians to live their faith courageously and bear public witness to Christ. In his video message, the Pope emphasized that the broken world needs healing, peace, and unity—and that this renewal can only arise from an encounter with God. Invoking the words of Saint Augustine, Leo XIV reminded viewers that the human heart finds true peace only in God. At the same time, he made it clear that faith is not a private matter but must be demonstrated through acts of charity and commitment to peace. The Pope sees the initiative, which originated in the Anglican tradition, as a powerful sign of ecumenism and of the shared hope for a world with greater unity, reconciliation, and divine closeness.
