Beginning Tuesday, March 3, Holy Cross Family Ministries will launch a Rosary novena for peace during our daily 11:30 a.m. EST Rosary livestream on Facebook and YouTube—lifting together our prayers for peace in our world.
As we begin this Rosary novena, we unite our hearts with the vision of Venerable Father Patrick Peyton, who passionately believed the world, “The family that prays together stays together,” and proclaimed with hope, “A world at prayer is a world at peace.”
Over these nine days, may our prayer draw us closer to Christ, strengthen our families, and open our hearts to the peace only God can give. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our gentle guide, we entrust this novena to her loving care and to the transforming grace of the Holy Rosary.

At the conclusion of our daily praying of the Rosary, we will be offering this prayer:
World at Prayer, World at Peace Novena
Lord, we come humbly before you seeking a world at peace.
Venerable Patrick Peyton held the unwavering belief that the path
to peace is paved by prayer, especially the Rosary.
Following his example, we have offered our Rosary for this intention,
along with a request for Our Blessed Mother's unfailing intercession.
During this season of Lent, may our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving
reap an even greater outpouring of Your grace and mercy across the world,
and with it the fruits of the Spirit required to restore
and maintain peace in every nation and upon every land.
Venerable Patrick Peyton, pray for us.
St. Joseph, Protector of Families, pray for us.
Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us, and grant us this urgent plea for peace. Amen.
