Pope Leo XIV Leads Global Rosary for Peace Amid Worldwide Wars

Pope Leo XIV will preside over a worldwide Rosary for peace on May 30 in the Vatican Gardens, with major Marian shrines across Ukraine, Lebanon, Portugal, and beyond joining simultaneously. The event reflects the Catholic Church's growing spiritual response to escalating global conflicts, and signals the Pope's positioning as a global moral and spiritual authority in a time of unprecedented war. Scripture warns of a coming false peace and a religious system that will unite the world under a single spiritual banner in the last days — events the Bible describes as precursors to Armageddon (1 Thessalonians 5:3, Revelation 17:1-6).
