January 1st 2016 - World Day of Peace. Overcome difference and win peace.

‘God is not indifferent! God cares about mankind! God does not abandon

us! At the beginning of the New Year, I would like to share not only this profound

conviction, but also my cordial good wishes for prosperity, peace and the fulfilment of the hopes of every man, woman, family, people and nation

throughout the world. Indifference is not something new; every period of history has known people who close their hearts to the needs of oth-ers, who close their eyes to what is happening around them, who turn aside to avoid

encountering other people’s problems. But in our day, indifference has ceased to be a purely personal matter and has taken on broader dimensions, producing a certain

“globalization of indifference”.
