Valle d'Aosta, Jul. 26, 2006 (CNA) - Ahead of an international meeting for peace, which is taking place today in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI called for continued prayers for peace in Lebanon and expressed his hope that the process of establishing a lasting peace can now begin.

The Pope said that he is praying that the international conference for Lebanon, "may bear fruit and bring concrete results for peace, for a solution that goes to the roots of the problem."

Benedict, who is wrapping up a short vacation in the Valle d’Aosta region of Italy, said last night that he is maintaining hope that through the talks "stable and lasting solutions" can be found.

"I feel that something is now moving,” the Pontiff added, “I see that prayers are not in vain."
