From this moment, the women of WUCWO join in prayer for your intentions: peace, unity, the construction of a missionary synodal Church that reaches out to all, especially to those most in need of charity and love... We ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten and strengthen you so that you may guide the People of God in fidelity to the Gospel and according to the will of the Lord.

We are confident that you will be a true shepherd for our time. From the different corners of the world where we are present, as women united in faith, we wish to walk by your side, with hearts ready to serve wherever the Church and you deem it most needed.

As you have asked us today, we will continue to be builders of peace and to build bridges to achieve unity, without fear, with hope and united with all the People of God.

Thank you for your ‘yes’, Pope Leo XIV. You have the firm cushion of our prayers and our deep affection.

Mónica Santamarina

WUCWO President General
