The initiative is promoted in agreement with the general secretariat of the Italian Episcopal Conference which will broadcast the Holy Rosary in live streaming on its Facebook page. So, we all pray together again hoping that the spread of the infection from Covid-19 will stop. The end of this tremendous modern plague is invoked. God's mercy is asked because the numbers of the dead and infected will no longer grow exponentially as has happened in recent weeks.

The recitation of the Rosary and the supplication to Saint John Paul II

From the chapel that bears the name of the 'holy doctor', the petition to St. John Paul II, who died on April 2, 15 years ago, will also rise at the end of the prayer. Pope Francis himself said: “The sign left by Saint John Paul II is indelible in the Church and in society ". It will once again be a choral moment to invoke divine benevolence and to stop the Coronavirus epidemic that is taking the lives of people worldwide.

Community prayer to ward off the spread of contagion
