This 8 June we have once again made the sign of stopping our daily walk to pray for peace.
Many minutes, throughout the day, all over the world, invoking, reflecting and committing ourselves to work for peace.
With simple testimonies, in every living environment, “where we were, at 1 p.m.” in every country, in every town, many responded to the proposal and we expressed together “We want peace“, because we are convinced that it is the only way to achieve peace, because we are convinced that it is an urgency, a right, a necessity, for everyone, for our humanity, to live fraternally and to choose dialogue, justice and solidarity, to turn our hearts, often made of stone, into hearts of flesh, compassionate and merciful.
We are willing to accompany with our prayers those who are living in situations of violence and war and to tell them: “You are not alone”, you are our brothers and sisters! No one can be discarded, we all deserve to live with dignity!
This minute of prayer commits us, predisposes us to consolidate peace, unites us in this common cause, urges us not to give in to violence and to work for justice and fraternity in this fragmented and divided world and to stand in solidarity with the victims who are in imperative need of a real and lasting peace.
The CAs of the whole world can also be a sign of peace and each one of us can be a witness that peace is possible. After 10 years and accompanying Pope Francis, we want to continue to propose the 8th of every month, requesting the immaculate heart of Mary, to choose the path of fraternity, to walk together towards peace.
