Pope Francis has called for a global prayer marathon for the entire month of May, praying for an end to the pandemic. For individuals, families and communities all take part in reciting the Rosary, dedicated to the theme, ‘from the entire Church an unceasing prayer rises to God.’
The theme refers to the miraculous event recounted in the Acts of the Apostles (12:1-12) when all the Church prayed for Peter, who was imprisoned until God sent an angel to free him, illustrating how the Christian community comes together to pray in the face of danger and how the Lord listens and performs an unexpected miracle.
