Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Holy Cross Missionaries invite Catholics to pray global rosary for peace | Vatican News


As the Church celebrates the Marian month of October, the Congregation of Holy Cross is inviting families to pray together for peace, especially on October 22, feast of Pope St. John Paul II.

by Br. Adolf Mugume, C.S.C.

The Catholic Church dedicates the month of October every year to the Holy Rosary, during which we are reminded that through Mary, Queen of Peace, we are drawn closer to her Son.

The late Pope Francis often reminded the Church of the Rosary’s power to heal hearts and transform history. On October 27, 2023, the Congregation of Holy Cross joined him in a day of fasting, penance, and prayer for peace.

After that experience, feeling called to do more in response to the violence and suffering plaguing the world, the Superior General, Br. Paul Bednarczyk, called upon the Congregation throughout the world to come together again in praying for peace.

The Holy Cross General Administration again teamed up with Holy Cross Family Ministries, one of the Congregation’s apostolates, to host a Global Rosary for Peace on the first Friday of Lent, on February 16, 2024.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
