\n<\/strong>President, Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization
\n\u201cAn Evangelical pastor and her community sent us a message saying they would participate in the rosary we\u2019ll be reciting at 6 p.m. This means the pandemic unites us, not only in the hardships but also in this communal prayer that transcends our differences.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>President, Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization
\n\u201cThis response has two objectives: to ask God for an end to the pandemic and for help returning to our normal lives. That\u2019s why we invited all the sanctuaries in the world to join us in this moment of prayer. Thirty sanctuaries, a different one each day in May, will lead the rosary prayer in the evening, Rome time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>President, Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization
\n\u201cAs inspiration for this prayer marathon, we chose a verse from the Acts of the Apostles: \u2019Prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God.\u2019 The Church prayed because Peter was imprisoned. And today, the world is imprisoned. Imprisoned by a virus, by loneliness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
