Pope Benedict leads Easter Mass in Prayer of Futility!

Today is Easter! A day of hope for many. This morning I caught the Popes first Easter Mass and he was calling for peace around the world.
ROME, Italy (CNN) -- Benedict XVI has celebrated his first Easter Mass as pope and urged governments to find peaceful resolutions to their crises, placing special emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the need to end terrorism.

* As with the retired Generals I say save your breath. Bush, Ahmaadinejad, and other self agendad leaders do not care wht is right or what you or I think.

"In Iraq, may peace finally prevail over the tragic violence that continues mercilessly to claim victims," he said.
"I also pray sincerely that those caught up in the conflict in the Holy Land may find peace. And I invite all to patient and persevering dialogue in the Holy Land so as to remove both ancient and new obstacles, avoiding the temptations to revenge. And may they educate the new generations to mutual respect."
"May the international community, which reaffirms Israel's just right to exist in peace assist the Palestinian people to overcome the precarious conditions in which they live, and to build their future, moving toward the constitution of a state that is truly their own."
The pope also prayed that the spirit of Latin America be renewed so that the living conditions of millions of citizens may be improved, "the scourge of kidnappings eradicated, and democratic institutions be consolidated ... in a spirit of harmony and solidarity."
"May an honorable solution be found for all parties through serious and honest negotiations, and may the leaders of nations and international organizations be strengthened in their will to achieve peaceful coexistence among different races, cultures and religions, in order to remove the threat of terrorism."

* we are all trying to head of a further war to no avail. The "leaderers" as they call themselves,
do not care what the Pope, the Generals, You, I, the voice of reason thinks. They are all following their own course and the good of the world does not matter.

** it will not alter Wor;d events but keep praying, you never know and It is all you have!
