Pope Francis had appealed for prayers and international participation in the “One Minute for Peace” initiative to held Thursday, 8 June.
The entire team of Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre had gathered to observe the one minute for peace.
To mark the day the prayer of St. Francis Assisi for peace which was recited by St. John Paul II during world all religions prayer meet for peace in 1986, was read.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
