Pope Francis appealed to the faithful at his Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter's Square to pray the Rosary, especially during the month of May, as he entrusts to the Blessed Virgin Mary the cause of peace for the wars in the Holy Land, Ukraine, and Myanmar, according to Vatican News.

The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary falls on May 8, and Mary is the focus of this month.

"I invite everyone to invoke Mary's intercession, so that the Lord may grant peace to the whole world, especially to the dear and martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, and Myanmar," said the Holy Father.

He added, “I invite everyone to invoke Mary's intercession, so that the Lord may grant peace to the whole world, especially to the dear and martyred Ukraine and to Palestine, Israel, and Myanmar.”

He went on to entrust young people, the sick, the elderly, and newlyweds to Our Lady.  “I urge everyone to value praying the Holy Rosary this May.”

"I urge everyone to value praying the Holy Rosary this May," he requested before giving his Apostolic Blessing.
