The next lines are from the article I wrote and which appeared (in
Hungarian language) in the National Periodical of the Romanian Franciscan
Tertiare Order, which name is-"Szent Ferenc Nyomdokain," on page nr.8
; 11-th year of apparition of the Periodical, number 9/September (I'm
reproducing below the exact form, translated from Hungarian into English
(Hungarian is my second language):

"SZENT FERENC NYOMDOKAIN" (CITY-Sighetu Marmatiei)
Title: MAY PEACE PREVAIL ON EARTH! "Blessed are the peacemakers:for
they shall be called the children of God"-Matthew 5:9
On
21 September in many countries the international Day of Peace was
held in the hope of a wonderful, peaceful, warless future. These events
were for us an opportunity to make peace with ourselves, with the
environment, with the people from around us, with the world. Saint
Francis recognized the immeasurable value of peace, which is held
in the motto: Pax et Bonum! (Peace and Good).
On this day we were invited by Deborah Moldow, the director of the
World Peace Prayer Society, to join in the prayer: May Peace Prevail
On Earth! Let us pray too for this, from all our hearts!
This periodical is sent to all the countries where there are Franciscan
communities, and also some of the periodicals are sent in Hungary
too.
So I planned a lot of things for 21 September. I contacted a lot of
radio stations, asking them to diffuse about the next message: On
21 September is the International Day of Peace. I'm asking the listeners
to join in saying, from all their hearts: May Peace Prevail On Earth!
I know there were 2 radio stations which diffused the message:
1.RADIO GALAXIA
2.RADIO CONTACT
I contacted more (through internet/email): the Romanian Radio Society,
Antena Bucurestilor, the Uniplus Toronto, a Romanian radio club from
Seattle, Ottawa etc.
I was assured by the Secretariat of the Jewish Reality, which is the
periodical of the Romanian Federation of the Jewish Community, that
they joined with us in saying on 21 September: May Peace Prevail On
Earth.
I contacted the Vita Catholicus Banatus, a Romanian Roman-Catholic
periodical, covering the Banat region (including towns: Timisoara,
Resita, Arad, Caransebes...), sending them an article on 21 September,
which was printed. It is called Ziua Internationala a Pacii-21 Septembrie.
I sent to Glasul Maramuresului also an article.
May Peace Prevail in Romania.
May Peace Prevail on Earth.
