Vatican News
Pope Leo XIV has appealed for peace in the world throughout
his pontificate. His appeals have been accompanied with consistent calls for
prayer.
For that reason, the Pope will preside over the recitation
of the Holy Rosary at the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Vatican Gardens
on Saturday, May 30, at 7:00 pm, at the conclusion of the Marian month.
All people and all Shrines around the world are invited to
join him in praying the Rosary.
Some of the major Shrines which have confirmed their
participation include: the Shrine of the Mother of God (Zarvanytsia, Ukraine);
the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Antipolo,
Philippines); the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary (Fatima, Portugal); the
Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace (Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina); the
Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Lourdes, France); the Shrine of Saint Charbel
Annaya (Byblos, Lebanon); and the Pontifical Shrine of the Holy House of Loreto
(Loreto, Italy).
Pope Leo will pray the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade
being dedicated specifically for those affected by war and violence and
entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.
The first mystery prays for the victims of war, especially
the most vulnerable, while the second is for those who bring words of hope and
the comfort of faith to populations affected by war. The third recalls the
medical and paramedical personnel and volunteers who bring humanitarian aid
every day.
The fourth mystery prays for those who suffer the violence
of war, for prisoners and for all who endure humiliations that violate human
dignity. The fifth and final Joyful Mystery is dedicated to praying for an end
to war and the establishment of lasting peace in the world.
Pilgrims and faithful in Rome will also be able to take part
in the prayer from St. Peter’s Square through the large screens installed in
there.
The initiative is promoted by the Dicastery for
Evangelization – Section for Fundamental Questions regarding Evangelization in
the World.
