Pope Leo XIV asked Catholics to pray the rosary each day in October for peace.
The pope made his request at the end of his weekly general audience Sept. 24 and the day after he said he had spoken again with the pastor of Holy Family Church in Gaza City, the only Latin-rite Catholic parish in Gaza.
The parish is offering refuge and assistance to hundreds of Gaza residents.
At the end of his audience Sept. 24, Pope Leo noted that October was approaching and that with the Oct. 7 feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Catholic Church traditionally dedicates the whole month to praying the rosary.
“I invite everyone to pray the Rosary every day during the coming month — for peace — personally, with your families and in your communities,” he said.
