Pope Francis has put a twist on the interreligious prayer gathering by inviting political leaders, Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, "to come to the Vatican to pray together with me for peace."  

 “We want peace for us and for our neighbors. We seek prosperity and peace of mind for ourselves and for others alike.”
