Bishop Maksym Ryabukha leads rosary for peace in Donetsk

Bishop Maksym Ryabukha, the bishop of the Exarchate of Donetsk, is leading the recitation of the Rosary throughout October to pray for peace and the end of all conflicts. This prayer initiative follows an invitation from Pope Leo XIV at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes to pray for the cessation of wars and peace between conflicting peoples.

Ryabukha noted that while bringing military leaders to a dialogue table to resolve problems may seem beyond human capability, faith can make the impossible possible. He encouraged the faithful to continue believing that miracles are possible and that evil will not have the final word.
