"The year 2011 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the World Day
of Prayer for Peace convened in Assisi in 1986 by Pope John Paul II.
On that occasion the leaders of the great world religions testified to the fact
that religion is a factor of union and peace, and not of division and conflict.
The memory of that experience gives reason to hope for a future in which all
believers will see themselves, and will actually be, agents of justice and
peace."Pope Benedict XVI
