An invitation to entrust oneself to Our Lady, every day in October, “to pray the Rosary for peace: personally, in the family, in the community.” With these words, to which the movement of Communion and Liberation adheres, Pope Leo XIV concluded today’s Wednesday's audience, dedicated today to Holy Saturday, “the day in which heaven visits earth most deeply. It is the time in which every corner of human history is touched by the light of Easter. (...) There is no past so ruined, no history so compromised that it cannot be touched by mercy.”

The Pope also added at the end of his address: “I invite those who serve in the Vatican to say this prayer in Saint Peter’s Basilica every day, at 19.00.” In particular, “the evening of Saturday 11 October, at 18.00, we will pray it together here in Saint Peter’s Square, during the vigil for the Jubilee of Marian Spirituality, also commemorating the anniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II.”
