Papal Message for World Day of Peace - January 1, 2012
The Catholic Church begins each year with World Day of Peace, a day set aside for prayer and reflection. In this year's address, Pope Benedict XVI asks that the coming year be marked concretely by justice and peace. He specifically asks that young people be educated in justice and peace, first by the parents as well as by formal educational institutions and teachers. He speaks to political leaders and the media as well, reminding them of their role in education.
The pope concludes asking that everyone look to the future with greater hope, to encourage each other on our journey, to work together to give our world a more humane and fraternal face, and to feel a common responsibility towards present and future generations, especially in the task of training them to be people of peace and builders of peace. |
