Pope Francis is once again urging all of humanity to pray
together for divine help during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Saturday, 30 May, at 5:30 PM Rome time (GMT +2), the Pope
will lead the recitation of the Rosary from the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens.
United in prayer with Mary
The event takes place under the title: “Devoted with one
accord to prayer, together with Mary” (Acts 1:14). It is organized by the
Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.
The Decades of the Rosary will be recited by men and women
representing the various categories of people who have been particularly
affected by Covid-19.
These include a doctor and a nurse; someone who recovered
from the illness and someone who lost a loved-one to it; a priest, a hospital
chaplain, and a nun who is a nurse.
Other participants include a pharmacist, a doctor, and a
journalist; an Italian Civil Protection volunteer; and, a young family who
welcomed a baby into the world during the pandemic.
Plea for protection
As the Marian month of May draws to a close, Pope Francis is
bringing the trials and tribulations of people around the world to the feet of
Mary.
Saturday’s recitation of the Rosary is “another sign of
nearness and consolation for those affected by the coronavirus, in the
certainty that our Heavenly Mother never refuses our pleas for protection.”
How to participate
The event will be broadcast live throughout the world on a
host of Vatican channels, with English-language commentary provided.
