St. Paul VI prayed to Mary, begging her to bring peace into the hearts of all.
When the Church and world was in turmoil, St. Paul VI turned to Mary. He wrote a brief encyclical letter, Mense Maio, urging bishops and faithful everywhere to pray for peace, invoking the intercession of the Virgin Mary.
He ended the encyclical with a beautiful prayer, one that focuses on the internal struggle that needs to be resolved before outward conflicts can be at peace.
