Pope Leo XIV is asking all Catholics to pray the Holy Rosary each day in October, Month of the Holy Rosary, for peace in the Holy Land, Ukraine, and all places torn by war and strife.
"I invite everyone to pray the rosary every day during the coming month – for peace – personally, with your families and in your communities," said the Holy Father at the end of his weekly general audience, September 24, 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.
This month also marks the beginning of the yearly Diocese of Lansing Eucharistic Rosary Congress. What? Let us explain.
Eucharistic Rosary Congresses consist of seven days of Eucharistic Adoration and Hourly Rosary in response to Our Lady of Fatima’s call to conversion, consecration, and prayer! The Eucharistic Rosary Congress promotes the mission of the current National Eucharistic Revival, to renew our worship of Our Lord, Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and to encounter His healing grace.
