A regular speaker on the subject of peace at churches, universities and local and national radio and television stations, when she set off the USA was in enmeshed in the Korean War. By the time that she died in a car accident in 1981, the Vietnam War had also come and gone.
Peace Pilgrim was an example to us all of the commitment and fortitude needed if we are to one day see a world at peace.
12seconds for Peace is very happy to present a video in honour of Peace Pilgrim in our 'Leaders and Teachers for Peace' series.

12seconds for Peace - Abdullah Turan Özşahin - 2
Abdullah's wonderful little video really asks a very pertinent question and one that we really need to be asking ourselves. When we make a comparison between living in peace and the alternatives to peace - is it really so hard to see which is the most preferable?
And of course the bigger question is: Why on Earth are we allowing to persist in the world, the conditions that DO exist, when we have it easily within our power to bring peace to all?

12seconds for Peace - Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa, an Albanian Catholic nun, was born Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Üsküb of the Ottoman Empire. At the age of 12 she had already decided that she wished to commit herself to her religious calling and joined the sisters of Loreto as a missionary at the age of 18; never again to see her family.
In 1950 she founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, and for over 45 years did all that she could to alleviate the suffering of the poor, the sick, orphaned and dying. The Missionaries of Charity's expansion took it throughout the rest of India and then on to the rest of the world.
In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Noble Peace Prize and by the time of her death in 1997, the Missionaries of Charity had 610 missions in 123 countries.
Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
Her most profound and insightful comment relating to the desire for peace in the world came when she was invited to go on an anti-war march. She said: "I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there."

12seconds for Peace - Donata Kalinauskaite - 3
As Donata so rightly points out in this video, true freedom is the ultimate reward in the search for peace. We all desire freedom just as much as we desire peace and the two are intrinsically interlinked; indeed they have a symbiotic relationship. Without peace - whether this is internal or external, we can never truly know freedom, and without freedom, we can never truly know peace.

12seconds for Peace - Anirya
Time and time again, as we explore the notion of peace through the medium of the 12seconds for Peace videos, we are finding that no matter what the externally-focused demands for peace are, or where we wish it to manifest, their is a growing and urgent message that the truth of peace can only be found internally. Peace will come when we begin to embody peace in our daily lives, individually and collectively. Its energy can then impact and transform the outer world. So let us begin...
Many thanks Anirya for your lovely video.

12seconds for Peace - Hussam Salti
Hussam's video goes to the core of what it takes to make the world a better place: first of all before we do anything, we need to envision peace. We need to bring it into our hearts and minds as something that we truly aspire too. The law of attraction in action! Once we have peace in our hearts then we can feel motivated to make it happen in the external world!
