[Update: See here the Pope's reflection after he prayed the Rosary.]
The Pope will preside over the recitation of the Holy Rosary at the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in the Vatican Gardens on Saturday, May 30, at 7:00 pm Rome time, 1 pm New York time.

The Rosary concludes the Marian month, and is another initiative of Pope Leo to beseech the gift of peace.
All people and all shrines around the world are invited to join him in praying the Rosary.
According to Vatican News, Pope Leo will pray the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade being dedicated specifically for those affected by war and violence and entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.
The intentions will be:
first mystery: for the victims of war, especially the most vulnerable
second: for those who bring words of hope and the comfort of faith to populations affected by war
third: for the medical and paramedical personnel and volunteers who bring humanitarian aid every day
fourth: for those who suffer the violence of war, for prisoners and for all who endure humiliations that violate human dignity
fifth: for an end to war and the establishment of lasting peace in the world
