1 Minute Prayer for Peace

Around the World

1 Minute Prayer for Peace

Every day, at one appointed hour, people across the world stop for a single minute and ask God for peace.

The Story

How This Began

A story is told of the Second World War: in one bombarded city, people agreed to stop whatever they were doing at the same hour each night and pray for peace. Whole neighborhoods fell still at once. They kept the practice every day until the war left them.

In that spirit, people around the world have agreed to give one minute a day, each country at its own hour, praying for the safety of all people and for God to guide the decisions of those who lead us.

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart.

St. Pio of Pietrelcina
