Francis Pope, after the pilgrimage in Holy Land, invited in His “house” the President of Israel and the Palestinian Authority for a prayer meeting for peace on the 8 june of 2014 in Vatican in Rome.
The Pope asked to the church to pray for this unprecedent meeting which got the world attention. On June 6 of 2014 the initiative “ONE MINUTE  POR LA PAZ-  ONE MINUTE FOR PEACE” was launched, in preparation of the meeting sponsored by the Pope. We gathered in a simple, short and accessible to all prayer.

The applications to the event has been significant in several countries, in particular, through Facebook were collected almost 10.000 applications in a short time.
All over this year we remembered what Francis Pope said on the 8 June of 2014:

“Our meeting for the claim of peace in Holy Land, in Middle East and in the whole world has been accompanied by the prayer of people of different religions: people who prayed for this meeting and now are bond to us in the same invocation. It is a meeting which is a response to the warm desire to people who is struggling for peace and dream about where men and women could live together as friends and not as enemies”.

“Questo nostro incontro di invocazione della pace in Terra Santa, in Medio Oriente e in tutto il mondo è accompagnato dalla preghiera di tantissime persone, appartenenti a diverse culture, patrie, lingue e religioni: persone che hanno pregato per questo incontro e che ora sono unite a noi nella stessa invocazione. È un incontro che risponde all’ardente desiderio di quanti anelano alla pace e sognano un mondo dove gli uomini e le donne possano vivere da fratelli e non da avversari o da nemici.”
