This month of October, Pope Leo XIV invites the faithful to pray the Rosary daily for peace in our world and to be faithful instruments of reconciliation in their daily lives.

"As we begin October, the month dedicated to the holy Rosary, I invite you to pray the Rosary every day for peace in our world."

Pope Leo XIV made this exhortation on Wednesday morning while addressing various language groups during his General Audience in the Vatican.

Amid the conflicts and wars worldwide, the Pope urged the faithful to promote peace in their regular lives.

"May you be faithful instruments of reconciliation in your daily lives," he said.

With the same sentiment, he reminded the Arabic-speaking pilgrims present that Christians are called "to witness that love and pardon are greater than every wound and stronger than every injustice."

Meanwhile, the Holy Father asked Portuguese-speaking faithful to become "missionaries of peace and mercy," and French-speaking faithful to become "witnesses of peace and love greater than our failures or divisions."
