Reminding the faithful that we have entered the Marian month of May and of the daily “Prayer Marathon” initiative, Pope Francis invites everyone to pray for peace and reconciliation in Myanmar.

Pope Francis on Sunday invited believers to say a special prayer for strife-ridden Myanmar every day during this Marian month of May during the recitation of the daily rosary.
Speaking after the recitation of the Regina Coeli prayer, he recalled that a “Prayer Marathon” for the end of the pandemic has just begun, with Marian Shrines across the world participating with the live-streaming of the rosary every day, the Pope said that within this context there is an initiative that is particularly close to his heart: that of the Burmese Church that invites us to pray for peace in the country.
