The man left on the moon after his first landing a prayer engraved on a metal plate.
One expression of this prayer says. "... Give us, O God could view
see your love for the world, despite the failure of men. "
We are concluding a century in which the ideologies have created a gigantic failure, impoverishing, defacing, avvilendo humanity by terrible wars, concentration camps, gulag, poverty, injustice and constant violence.
When is the peace?
When this well, more precious than bread, will be served to humanity?
When so many hopes, might have positive answers?
When the guns fall silent; and the many innocent children will return to smile?
The answers will not come from the wind; They might come to so many men of good will, who will commit their lives, to restore hope to the world.
The Nobel Peace Prize, meeting in the 1st World Summit in Rome, represent that hope.
Men of every culture, religion, the world, reaffirm together this great good. The Nobel prize for humanity.
These men will be given a commemorative medal from the big theme:
"Peace in the Third Millennium"
A light from a new world; illuminates a load of old distinctions world.
From this old world emerge men, women, naked children because they want to leave spaile that "old" muddied selfishness and the desire to dominate to put on the new rays of hope.
To you, men of peace, to you men who have Witnessed to believe in this good, to you, that you gave of your best because you want a new humanity, this work, like small size, but the size of meaning.
When you watch, remember that mankind looks to you with hope, because you represent a ray of light.
