8y16/2016 XLVlll world Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but br<{lprs and sisters Francis
I

MESSAGE OF HIS HOUNESS

POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE CELEBMTION OF THE
WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1 JANUARY 2015'
NO LONGER SLAVES, BUT BROTHERS AND STSTERS

1. At the beginning of this New year, which we welcome

as God,s gracious gift
to all humanity, I offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and woman,
to
all the worid's peoples and nations, to heads of state and govemment,
and to
religious leaders. In doing so, I pray for an end to *uo, .onfli.ts and the great
suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and present, and
by the
devastation wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis
of
our common calting to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the
advancement of harmony and peace in the wortd, we may resist the temptation
to act in a manner unworthy of our humanity.

In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of ,,the desire for a full life... which
includes a longing for fraternity which draws us to fellowship with
others and
enables us to see them not as enemies or rivals, but as brothers and
sisters to
be accepted and embraced".[1] since we are by nature relational
beings, meant
to find fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by justice and love,
it is fundamental for our human development that our dignity, freedom and
autonomy be acknowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing scourge
of
man's exploitation by man gravety damages the life of communion
and our
calling to forge interpersonal relations marked by respect, justice
and love, This
abominable phenomenon, which reads to contempt for the fundamental
rights of
others and to the suppression of their freedom and dignity, takes many
forms. I
would like briefly to consider these, so that, in the light of God,s word, we
can
consider all men and women "no longer slaves, but brothers and sisters,,.

Listening to God's plan for humanity

2' The theme I have chosen for this year's message is drawn from saint paul,s
letter to Philemon, in which the Aposile asks his co-worker to welcome
onesimus, formerly Philemon's srave, now a christian and, therefore, according
to Paul, worthy of being considered a brother. The Aoosile of the (ierrtiles
writes: "Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you rnight
have him back for ever, no longer as a slave but more ttran a slave. as a
