FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Feast of Saints Peter and Paul - 29th June 2025

On the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, we invite you to join believers around the world for a Global Day of Prayer for the Renewal of the Catholic Church.

Peter and Paul were two radically different men, yet together they became pillars of the early Church - courageous witnesses to the Gospel, filled with the Holy Spirit, and wholly surrendered to Christ. Their lives remind us that God can use anyone—fisherman or Pharisee—for His glorious purposes.

As we honour their legacy, let’s intercede for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit to empower the Church once again for bold, world-reaching mission. Whether you gather in a cathedral, parish chapel, house of prayer, or simply pause at your desk or bedside, your prayers matter.

Let’s believe together for the mobilization of 133 million missionary disciples, Spirit-filled renewal of the sacraments, and God’s anointing on Pope Leo XIV and Catholic leaders around the world.

“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” - Acts 4:31

However long you can pray - five minutes or five hours - you are part of something eternal. Let’s lift our voices in unity today!

Here are seven pointers to focus our prayers: 

01

Deep Love for Jesus

May Catholics everywhere encounter Jesus deeply, love Him wholeheartedly, and boldly proclaim Him as Lord, Saviour, and King.

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…” - Philippians 3:10

02

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit

Lord, pour out Your Holy Spirit afresh upon the Catholic Church - revive hearts, renew faith, and ignite bold witness to Jesus Christ worldwide.

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…” - Acts 1:8

03

Mobilising Missionary Disciples

Raise up many missionary disciples from the Catholic Church to bring the Gospel to every nation by 2033.

Go and make disciples of all nations…
- Matthew 28:1

04

Anointing on Pope and Leaders

Grant Pope Leo XIV, Cardinals, and Catholic leaders godly wisdom, unity, and Spirit-led boldness to shepherd the Church faithfully in this hour.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…” - James 1:5

05

Revival of Parish Communities

Revive every parish into vibrant centres of worship, evangelism, and discipleship - awakening passion for the Word and love for neighbours.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship…” - Acts 2:42

06

Renewal of the Sacraments

Let the sacraments be living encounters with grace - drawing many to repentance, healing, and joy through Christ’s abiding presence.

“Repent and be baptized… and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” - Acts 2:38

07

Unity Across the Body of Christ

Stir unity between all Christian traditions, that the world may believe as we exalt Jesus together.

“May they be brought to complete unity…” - John 17:23
