Today, November 11, we remember the end of World War I, the so-called "Great War," the "War to End All Wars," on this date at the 11th hour in 1918.
Listen to the guns go silent in an recreation of the moment based on based on actual recordings.
The war was not great nor did it stop future wars. As we find our world in conflict in at least 32 places 105 years after this armistice, let us make this Day of Remembrance also a Day of Prayer for the transformation of the hearts of all.
Let us realize the words of St. Pope Paul VI: "If you want peace, work for justice" is the task of each and every one of us.
