St. Joseph Cathedral

This will be at noon central time. Division and discord exist. Prayer is an integral part of our experience as Christians and we rely on the mercy of God and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit when our own words and actions aren’t enough.

To accompany his constant calls for peace in the world, Pope Leo XIV will lead the prayer of the Holy Rosary on May 30 at 7:00 PM Rome time from the Vatican Gardens.

He will lead the faithful in Shrines around the world in praying the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade being dedicated specifically for those affected by war and violence and entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.

The first mystery prays for the victims of war, especially the most vulnerable, while the second is for those who bring words of hope and the comfort of faith to populations affected by war. The third recalls the medical and paramedical personnel and volunteers who bring humanitarian aid every day.

The fourth mystery prays for those who suffer the violence of war, for prisoners and for all who endure humiliations that violate human dignity. The fifth and final Joyful Mystery is dedicated to praying for an end to war and the establishment of lasting peace in the world.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at St. Joseph Cathedral!

Today we thank God for the gift of mothers — for their love, prayers, guidance, and unwavering faith. May the Blessed Virgin Mary watch over and intercede for all mothers today and always.

May your day be filled with peace, love, and many blessings.
