教宗良十四世与700多名儿童在梵蒂冈同诵玫瑰经，为和平祈祷全球行动开启首周
梵蒂冈城10月1日——据《国家天主教纪事报》（National Catholic Register）援引天主教通讯社（CNA）报道，教宗良十四世10月1日在梵蒂冈花园的卢尔德岩洞，与700至1,000名来自罗马各学校与堂区的儿童同诵玫瑰经，为世界和平祈祷。此活动是宗座基金会「援助有需要的教会」（ACN）发起的「一百万儿童诵念玫瑰经」行动的开幕场。
这项行动今年迎来第20年，首次从单日扩展为完整一周（10月1日至7日，即玫瑰圣母瞻礼日），全球各地教区、堂区、修会团体、学校与家庭可在一周内任选一天参与。ACN国际主席、促进基督徒合一宗座委员会主席库尔特·科赫枢机表示，该行动在全球数百万人面对战争、暴力、迫害与贫困之际，是一个简单而普世的信任与希望标记。参与地区包括玻利维亚亚马孙地区的原住民社区、苏丹的堂区学校，以及津巴布韦布拉瓦约总教区的青年祈祷聚会。
教宗同日还通过其全球祈祷网络发布了10月祈祷意向：为心理健康牧灵工作祈祷。教宗在视频中说，忧郁、焦虑与孤独的背后是深切而沉默的痛苦，教会应成为一所「开放的房子」，陪伴而不排斥、聆听而不论断。

Pope Leo XIV Prays Rosary for Peace With More Than 700 Children at the Vatican as Global Campaign Opens
VATICAN CITY, Oct. 1 — Pope Leo XIV prayed a rosary for peace with between 700 and 1,000 children from schools and parishes across Rome at the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens on Oct. 1, according to the National Catholic Register via Catholic News Agency. The gathering launched the 'One Million Children Praying the Rosary' campaign organized by the pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
Now in its 20th year, the initiative expands for the first time from a single day into a full week, Oct. 1 through Oct. 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, so that dioceses, parishes, religious communities, schools and families anywhere in the world can take part on the day that suits them. Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of ACN International, said the campaign is a simple yet universal sign of trust and hope at a time when millions face war, violence, persecution and poverty. Participating communities range from an indigenous Tsimané community in Bolivia's Amazon to parishes in Sudan and a youth prayer gathering in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
The same day, the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network released Leo's October prayer intention: for the mental health ministry. In the video, the pope said that behind old labels for mental suffering lies a deep, silent pain, and asked that the Church be an 'open house' that accompanies and never excludes, listening without judging.
