Dia Mundial por La Paz 2015 (World Day of Peace 2015 Handout in Spanish)
The World Day of Peace 2015 handout focuses on Pope Francis’ message titled “Slaves No More, But Brothers and Sisters.” Includes a Prayer to End Trafficking, encouraging reflection and intercession for victims and systemic change.
Key Themes
- Equal Dignity: Every person is created in the image and likeness of God and deserves respect and freedom.
- Call to Action: Recognizing others as brothers and sisters leads to peace and compels us to end exploitation and slavery.
- Forms of Exploitation: Human trafficking, forced labor, sexual exploitation, and enslavement of women and children are described as a “fatal running sore on the flesh of Christ.”
