Dia Mundial por La Paz 2016 (World Day of Peace 2016 Handout in Spanish)
The World Day of Peace 2016 handout reflects Pope Francis’ message for the 49th World Day of Peace, urging believers to overcome indifference and isolation through solidarity and community.
Key Themes
- Challenge of Indifference: Global issues like war, poverty, persecution, and refugee crises can feel overwhelming, leading to paralysis or apathy.
- Call to Action: Replace isolation with community and indifference with solidarity. Foster awareness about intolerance, religious persecution, slavery, and war.
- Culture of Encounter: Engage in dialogue, cooperation, and skill-building to address problems meaningfully.
