*LET US CLING TO OUR ROSARY AND BEG THE QUEEN OF PEACE TO END ALL WAR* As violence and unrest continue to afflict nations such as Israel, Iran, Ukraine, and many other regions torn by war, we turn our hearts to the Blessed Virgin Mary—our Queen of Peace—pleading for her powerful intercession. In these dark and uncertain times, the Holy Rosary stands as a radiant weapon of hope, calling us to entrust the world to the mercy of God through the hands of His Mother. The Rosary is not merely a repetition of prayers; it is a journey into the heart of salvation history. With each bead, we contemplate the mysteries of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, while reflecting on Mary’s faithful presence at every step. Through her maternal care, she draws us closer to her Son and covers the world with her mantle of peace. History bears witness to the Rosary's power. At the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, the Christian forces were miraculously victorious against the Ottoman fleet. Pope Pius V, attributing this triumph to widespread recitation of the Rosary, established the Feast of Our Lady of Victory—now celebrated as the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. This event reminds us that when the faithful unite in prayer, heaven responds with might and mercy. Today, as the clouds of war threaten innocent lives and peace remains elusive, let us pick up our Rosaries once more. Let every Hail Mary rise like incense before the throne of God. Let every mystery we ponder be a seed of peace sown into a troubled world. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us: “Mary’s function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power” (CCC 970). Let us pray with renewed fervor, not as bystanders, but as spiritual warriors trusting in divine grace. O Mary, Queen of Peace, we implore you: silence the guns, heal the wounded, protect the innocent, and bring our world into the peace of your Son. Mary, Queen of the Rosary, Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
