Candlelight Procession Ends October Month with Prayer for Peace

A candlelight procession concluded the month of October with prayers for peace, dedicated to the rosary request in Vatican City. The event took place on the evening of October 31 at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, located outside the city of Rome. Participants prayed for the safety of those affected by violence and for peace in a world marked by division during this prayerful procession.

Special prayers for peace were offered through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, with requests made for reconciliation among nations and the establishment of world peace. The procession began at 9 PM local time on October 31 in the courtyard of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. Believers carried candles in a prayerful manner as they marched around the basilica grounds. The prayers for those in distress served as a communion and unity prayer, particularly remembering and praying for those affected by war.
