A Month of Prayer for Peace

Rome
30.04.2026
May is the month dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus. As she is also venerated as Queen of Peace, we especially pray wor peace this month of May.

The month of May is traditionally known as the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As Queen of Peace, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ has inspired people throughout the centuries to turn to her in times of conflict and uncertainty. 

This May, we have decided to dedicate the entire month to an intensive prayer for peace in the world. For each day of May, a post has been created featuring a depiction of the Virgin Mary alongside a prayer for peace – shared across our social media channels. 

All sisters, associates, companions and friends of Mary Ward, as well as everyone who feels called to join, are warmly invited to: 

  • Pray with us for peace throughout the world
  • Share the daily posts on their own channels
  • Translate them into their local languages
  • Print or save them for personal use
  • Use them in groups to pray together for peace

In a world longing for reconciliation and healing, this initiative is an open invitation: to pause, to pray, and to stand together for peace.

Follow us on social media and join the prayer – every day in May.
