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.
Archbishop Smith leads first monthly Rosary For Peace
THE BC CATHOLIC | 7OCT2025
Archbishop Smith (Vancouver, BC, Canada) leads first monthly Rosary: ‘The Church’s decisive contribution’ to peace by Nicholas Elbers
A new tradition has begun at Holy Rosary Cathedral.
On the first Saturday of October, more than 500 people filled the pews, joined by over 2,000 others online, to pray the Joyful Mysteries with Archbishop Richard Smith. The “Rosary for Peace” will now take place monthly through June, offering the faithful an opportunity to come together in prayer for peace in a world deeply troubled by conflict.
“This speaks to the felt need of everybody,” Archbishop Smith told The B.C. Catholic. “We all want to be doing something for peace, and this is the Church’s decisive contribution: prayer.”
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.
