Statement
World Day of Peace 2019 Handout - Spanish
Jornada Mundial de la Paz 2019 (World Day of Peace 2019 Handout in Spanish)
The World Day of Peace 2019 handout centers on Pope Francis’ message:
“Good Politics at the Service of Peace.”
Key Themes
- Politics as Charity: Political life can be an outstanding form of charity when it serves the common good and protects human dignity.
- Call to Engagement: Instead of indifference or cynicism, Catholics are called to raise their voices for justice and peace, advocating for the poor and marginalized.
- Artisans of Peace: Pope Francis urges societies to form “artisans of peace” who witness God’s will for human happiness.
- Catholic Social Teaching: Politics must prioritize the poor and vulnerable, avoid promoting violence, and work toward peace in communities.
