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.

‘Prayer is not passive’: Archbishop Smith announces monthly Rosary for Peace

BC Catholic | Pope Leo's recurring call for prayers for peace in the world are being echoed in Vancouver as Archbishop Richard Smith makes his first pastoral initiative a monthly Rosary for Peace at Holy Rosary Cathedral.

“Many people have been asking how they can respond to the violence and suffering we see in the world,” Archbishop Smith told The B.C. Catholic. “One of the most powerful ways we can respond as Christians is through prayer. The Church is not simply an NGO. Our greatest contribution to peace is prayer.”

The monthly Rosary for Peace will start on Oct. 4.

Inspired by Pope Leo’s recent call to prayer and fasting on the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, Archbishop Smith said the Rosary for Peace will begin Saturday, Oct. 4, at 11 a.m., and continue on the first Saturday of each month through June, with the exception of April when Holy Saturday falls on that weekend. He will lead the first gathering himself, with other leaders, musicians, and choirs from across the Archdiocese guiding future Rosaries.

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.
