Benedict XVI to mark 25th anniv of the World Day of Prayer for Peace in October 2011, Assisi

JP II Day of Prayer, Assisi 1986.jpg“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.”
