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.
