The Vatican has released the theme of the Pope’s World Peace Day Message. The peace in the world can be achieved only by responding to the current needs of future generations, says the Vatican while announcing the theme that Pope Francis select for his World Peace Day message.
“Education, work and dialogue between generations: tools for building lasting peace” will be the theme for the Jan. 1 commemoration and for the message Pope Francis will write for the occasion, said a Vatican communique published Nov. 13.
The Vatican said education, work, and dialogue are consistently evolving and that Pope Francis’ message will “propose an innovative reading that responds to the needs of current and future times.”
Pope Francis will seek to answer questions about education and how it contributes to lasting peace, the Vatican said. He will also address how work can “respond more or less to the vital needs of human beings on justice and freedom.”
The full message of World Peace Day by the Pope, traditionally released by the Vatican in mid-December, is sent, through Vatican diplomats, to the leaders of nations around the world.
