Saint Romuald. Optional memorial
A native of Ravenna, Italy, Romuald witnessed his own father slay a man as a result of a feud. He sought refuge in a Cluniac monastery, but his desire for strictness exceeded that of his fellow monks. Influenced by the hermit Marinus and the writings of the Desert Fathers, Romuald conceived a love for solitary prayer. He traveled throughout Italy, renewing monastic life through his founding of hermitages. At Camaldoli, he established a house that would become a new branch of the Benedictines. The monks there live in simple hermitages and come together for liturgy and communal meals. Romuald died in 1027.
INTENTIONS
Pope Leo XIV has urged Catholics across the globe to join him this July in praying for respect for human life.
He released the monthly “Pray with the Pope” video on Thursday, which is prepared by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.
In his prayer, the Pope recognized that the Lord has created each of us in love and called us to live in fullness.
"Each person is a sacred gift that reflects your face," he said, "from the first instant of existence to the final breath of their journey on earth."
"Today," he continued, "we ask for the grace to recognise and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being."
