Pope Francis appeals for ‘One Minute for Peace’
initiative
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has appealed for prayers
and international participation in the “One Minute for Peace” initiative to be
held Thursday, 8 June, at 1:00 PM Rome time.
He said the initiative represents “a short moment of prayer
on the recurrence of the meeting in the Vatican between me, the late Israeli
President Peres, and the Palestinian President Abbas”.
Their encounter took place in the Vatican Gardens on 8 June
2014, during which the three men prayed together for peace.
The Holy Father said, “In our days, there is a great need to
pray – Christians, Jews, and Muslims – for peace.”
His appeal came at the conclusion of his Wednesday General
Audience in St. Peter’s Square.
