Pope’s World Day of Peace
Message: Politics must serve peace
The theme of Pope Francis’ Message for the 52nd World Day of
Peace, marked on 1 January 2019, have been revealed in a note and a comment
published by the Holy See Press Office.
Politics must be at the service of peace
The Holy See Press Office statement said Pope Francis’
Message for the coming World Day of Peace highlights the need for politics to
be at the service of peace: “Political responsibility belongs to every citizen,
and in particular to those who have been given the mandate to protect and
govern”.
There is no peace without mutual trust
The Press Office note continues pointing out that “this
mission consists in safeguarding the law and encouraging dialogue between all
actors of society, between generations, and between cultures”.
The first condition for trust, it says, is respect for the
given word. It adds that “political commitment - which is one of the highest
expressions of charity – implies concern for the future of life and of the
planet, of the youngest and of the smallest, in their thirst for fulfillment”.
