Pope Francis called on Catholics to pray the Holy Rosary during May, a month especially dedicated to the Virgin Mary, asking for her intercession for peace, especially for Ukraine.
“In this month of May let us pray the Rosary asking the Holy Virgin for the gift of peace, in particular for the martyred Ukraine. May those responsible for nations be able to listen to the wishes of the people who suffer and want peace!” Pope Francis’ Twitter account read on Monday, May 8.
In this month of May let us pray the Rosary asking the Holy Virgin for the gift of peace, particularly for the martyred Ukraine. May the heads of nations be able to listen to the desire of the people who suffer and want peace!

Today the traditional supplication to Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated in the Sanctuary of Pompeii (Italy), and Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, when celebrating Mass in that Catholic temple, also encouraged to ask the Virgin for peace in Eastern Europe.
The Cardinal recalled that God’s will is a world of peace, and that without peace there is no life.
