Praying with the Popes invites you to journey through a century and a half of papal wisdom—from Leo XIII to Leo XIV—and discover a unified witness to hope, justice, and peace, offering a window into the heart of the Vatican and the soul of the Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCatholic speaker and author Katie McGrady writes in the introduction “As you pray with our popes from Leo XIII to Leo XIV, may you discover anew the hope and peace of Christ, which compels us all to engage the social ills of our day and move forward in making the world a better place for all people now—and for generations to come.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraying with the Popes: Words of Hope and Peace from Leo XIII to Leo XIV gathers powerful quotes from the writings of these successors of Peter. Their words are offered as a source of reflection and prayer—inviting readers to grow in hope, to deepen their understanding of the Church’s vision of peace, and to foster a Christ-centered love that moves us to daily action on behalf of justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once a spiritual, theological, and doctrinal introduction to Catholic social teaching, Praying with the Popes also serves as a practical guide for living it out in our world today. When Robert Francis Prevost, the first American pope, was elected to the papacy in May 2025 and took the name Leo XIV, many recognized in his choice a clear alignment with the legacy of Leo XIII, the final pope of the nineteenth century. The twelve popes from Leo XIII to Leo XIV guided the Church through tremendous economic, political, and social upheaval. In doing so, they consistently encouraged the faithful to engage more deeply with the Church’s social teachings—teachings that equip believers to live out Christ’s commandment to love as he loves and to help bring about God’s kingdom of peace on earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter begins with a short profile of the featured pope, followed by six brief excerpts from his writings. Quotes are paired with prompts for personal reflection, prayer, and sometimes concrete actions that embody the message of justice and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe popes featured in this book served the Church from 1878 to 2025:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•Leo XIII\u003cbr\u003e•Pius X\u003cbr\u003e•Benedict XV\u003cbr\u003e•Pius XI\u003cbr\u003e•Pius XII\u003cbr\u003e•John XXIII\u003cbr\u003e•Paul VI\u003cbr\u003e•John Paul I\u003cbr\u003e•John Paul II\u003cbr\u003e•Benedict XVI\u003cbr\u003e•Francis\u003cbr\u003e•Leo XIV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore they were bishops of Rome, the popes of the Catholic Church were first sons of God and men of prayer.
