Pope Leo XIV invites to pray Rosary for peace

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has invited the faithful to pray the Rosary for peace throughout the month of October. He made the invitation following a Mass in Lourdes.

During a speech in Metz regarding the roots of European unity and peace, the Pope urged leaders to show courage in negotiations and to be willing to sacrifice certain positions for the greater good of peace. He warned against the illusion of rearmament, noting that increasing military spending is not a creative effort for peace.

The Pope referenced Robert Schuman to suggest that global peace requires creative efforts proportional to existing dangers. He described the current trend of rapid rearmament in many countries as a potential path toward a new useless massacre.
