PEACE

Message for the World Day of Peace, I wish to offer to

everyone, individuals and peoples, my best wishes for

a life filled with joy and hope. In the heart of every man

and woman is the desire for a full life, including that

irrepressible longing for fraternity which draws us to

fellowship with others and enables us to see them not as

enemies or rivals, but as brothers and sisters to be accepted.

GOD BLESS

JUSTICE

In many parts of the world, there seems to be no

end to grave offences against fundamental human

rights, especially the right to life and the right to

religious freedom. The tragic phenomenon of human

trafficking, in which the unscrupulous prey on the

lives and the desperation of others, is but one unsettling

example of this. Alongside overt armed conflicts are the

less visible but no less cruel wars fought in the economic

and financial sectors with means which are equally destructive

of lives, families and businesses.
