CAFOD Icon Mary of the Magnificat: Mother of the poor
May is traditionally dedicated to Mary, Mother of God. During this month we honour Mary and seek her prayers for the world.
“For all those who have no peace, let us invoke Mary, the woman who brought into the world the Prince of Peace.”
We pray especially for the people of Sudan as they face conflict and hunger at this time. Join us in praying these luminous mysteries of the rosary as we pray that the light of Jesus may be felt by our sisters and brothers in Sudan, and asking Mary to be beside us as we act in solidarity with those fleeing violence and facing famine.
