Global Call to Prayer: One Month Into Conflict, Jerusalem Urges World to Join Rosary for Peace
As the Holy Land marks one month of devastating conflict, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, has issued a global invitation to prayer. This Saturday, March 28, the faithful are asked to unite in reciting the Rosary to petition for "the gift of peace and serenity" for those caught in the crossfire.
With special meditations provided by Fr. Francesco Patton, Custos of the Holy Land, the initiative aims to transform grief into hope. In a region scarred by displacement and a deepening humanitarian crisis, Church leaders emphasize that prayer is not a retreat from reality, but an active stand against despair and indifference.

A Rhythm of Hope: Finding Peace in the Rosary
In the heart of the Holy Land, where the wounds of war are deepest, a quiet but powerful movement is growing. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa has invited the global community to dedicate this Saturday, March 28, to the Rosary.
