The insistence of Pope Leo XIV for the peace in the world continues to manifest itself also through his constant exhortation to prayer. Thus, next Saturday, May 30, at 7:00 p.m., the Holy Father will preside at the recitation of the Holy Rosary in the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, located in the Vatican Gardens.
On this occasion, all the shrines of the world will be invited to unite in prayer with the Holy Father and their respective pilgrims and faithful.
Among the main shrines that have already confirmed their adhesion to the initiative are the Shrine of the Mother of God of Zarvanytsia (Ukraine), the International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and of the Good Journey of Antipolo (Philippines), the Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Fatima (Portugal), the Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace in Medjugorje (Bosnia and Herzegovina), the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (France), the Shrine of St. Charbel Annaya in Byblos (Lebanon) and the Pontifical Shrine of the Holy House of Loreto (Italy).
The initiative is promoted by the Dicastery for Evangelization - Section for the Fundamental Questions of Evangelization in the World. It will be possible to participate in person until full capacity is reached, after collecting tickets at Via della Conciliazione 7 on May 28, 29 and 30, from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm.
The faithful will also be able to join the prayer from St. Peter's Square through the giant screens installed in the square.
