VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV is set to lead a worldwide Rosary for Peace from the Vatican Gardens, inviting Catholics across the globe to unite in prayer for an end to violence, conflict, and human suffering. The event is expected to bring together believers from every continent through live broadcasts and digital platforms, creating a powerful moment of global spiritual solidarity.

The Pope has repeatedly emphasized that prayer is not a retreat from the world’s problems but a source of hope and strength for building peace. During the Rosary, special intentions will be offered for regions affected by war, displaced families, victims of violence, and leaders working toward reconciliation.

Church officials say the gathering reflects the Holy Father’s ongoing commitment to promoting dialogue, fraternity, and nonviolence in an increasingly divided world. Thousands of pilgrims are expected to participate in person, while millions more will join remotely from parishes, homes, and prayer groups worldwide.

As tensions continue to affect many parts of the globe, Pope Leo XIV’s initiative serves as a reminder that peace begins in the human heart and grows through faith, compᴀssion, and a shared commitment to the common good.
