January 1, 2016 is World Day of Peace.
Pope Francis invites us to
OVERCOME INDIFFERENCE AND WIN PEACE
"God is not indifferent! God cares about [humankind]!
God does not abandon us!"
"At the beginning of the New Year, I would like to share not only this profound conviction but also my cordial good wishes for prosperity, peace and the fulfilment of the hopes of every man and every woman, every family, people and nation throughout the world, including all Heads of State and Government and all religious leaders. We continue to trust that 2016 will see us all firmly and confidently engaged, on different levels, in the pursuit of justice and peace. Peace is both God’s gift and a human achievement. As a gift of God, it is entrusted to all men and women, who are called to attain it."
