| Pope Leo XIV leads a call for global unity as faithful gather at St. Peter’s Basilica for a prayer vigil for peace. |
Pope Leo XIV has invited people around the world to take part in a special prayer gathering focused on peace.
In a brief message shared publicly, the Pope renewed his call for unity, urging individuals, families, and communities to join the Prayer Vigil for Peace. The event is scheduled to hold at St. Peter’s Basilica at 6:00 PM Rome time.
He emphasized the importance of collective prayer during a period marked by global tension and uncertainty. According to him, the vigil is meant to bring people together in a shared moment of reflection and hope.
“I renew my invitation for everyone to join me for the Prayer Vigil for Peace,” the Pope stated.
The Vatican has continued to promote such gatherings as part of its wider efforts to encourage dialogue, unity, and non-violence across nations. Observers say these events often draw participation from both Catholics and non-Catholics worldwide.
The prayer session is expected to be attended by clergy members, pilgrims, and visitors in Rome, while many others are likely to follow remotely from different parts of the world.
