유럽 순방 중인 문 대통령 바티칸서 평화를 외치다

Over at the Vatican.
President Moon Jae-in summoned the faithful of the Roman Catholic Church during a special mass dedicated to the Korean peninsula.
He reassured the attendees that lasting peace will be achieved between Seoul and Pyeongyang.
Park Hee-jun brings us the highlights of that speech.
President Moon making the most of his time in the limelight to talk about a subject so close to his heart…
"Prayers offered for peace on the Korean Peninsula will resound as echoes of hope in the hearts of the people of the Koreas as well as those around the world who desire peace. Our prayers today will surely become a reality. We'll achieve peace and overcome division without fail."
President Moon, stood on the podium at Saint Peter's Basilica during a special "Mass for Peace," the first Korean leader to give an address at the event,… presided over by the Pontiff's top diplomat, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin.
It's what the Vatican described as "unique and exceptional" as the Holy See very rarely holds special masses for individual countries.
President Moon, a Catholic himself, summoned his fellow Roman Catholic Church faithful that amazing changes are already happening on the peninsula,… stressing the Koreas are faithfully keeping their promises - the scrapping of weapons and guard posts and removing land mines from what used to be the world's most heavily-fortified border.
"The love for humanity that bloomed in Christianity and European civilization traveled through time and space, all to give hope to the Korean Peninsula. The spirit of inclusion and alliance that the European Union is working to realize inspired our journey toward lasting peace on the peninsula."
The president asked the Vatican to continue praying for peace on the peninsula, saying he's certain it will be achieved.
In his homily, Parolin prayed for the gift of peace on the Korean peninsula,… 'so after years of tensions and division the word 'peace' can fully ring out.'
