President Moon Jae-in, on an official visit to the Holy See, attended the Mass for Peace on the Korean Peninsula at St. Peter’s Basilica on Oct. 17. “A declaration to end the war on the Korean Peninsula and the signing of a peace treaty will be akin to dissolving the last remaining Cold War regime on earth,” said the President in his remarks delivered after the mass. “We will achieve peace and overcome division without fail.”
President Moon and first lady Kim Jung-sook attended the mass presided over by the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
It is unprecedented for the Holy See to offer a special mass for the peace of a country. It is also rare for Cardinal Parolin, equivalent to prime minister, to preside over a mass or for a leader of a country to deliver a speech after a mass. Cheong Wa Dae said that these things show the special interest in and consideration from the Vatican towards settling peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Cheong Wa Dae said that these things show the special interest in and consideration from the Vatican towards settling peace on the Korean Peninsula.
The mass that lasted for an hour was attended by some 500 people, including Vatican priests, local diplomats, Korean officials, local Korean residents and students.
At the beginning of the mass, Cardinal Parolin welcome the guests in Korean saying “Welcome President Moon Jae-in and first lady Kim Jung-sook. I deliver you the blessing from Pope Francis. Let us pray for peace on the Korean Peninsula.”
“Once again, I beg God for the gift of peace for the whole world,” said Parolin during his homily. “Let us pray so that the word ‘peace’ can ring throughout the Korean Peninsula especially after many years of tension and division.”
Considering that most of the congregation was Korean, the cardinal only read the first paragraph of his homily in Italian. The rest was read out in Korean by Father Jang Yi-tae. .
President Moon is a long-time Catholic with the baptismal name of Timothy, which means a person who respects God.
