Pope Again Encourages Faithful to Pray the Rosary for Peace



From Reuters:



Pope John Paul made a dramatic appeal on Sunday for world prayers to avert war in Iraq, saying it sometimes appeared that only God can stop a conflict now.



"At this hour of international worry, we all feel the need to look to God and beg him to grant us the great gift of peace," the 82-year-old pope said. "I encourage everybody to pray the rosary for an intercession."
