A PRAYER FOR PEACE FROM POPE
BENEDICT XVI "I entrust my urgent prayer for all humanity at the beginning of
the year…to which we look with hearts full of hope, notwithstanding the dangers
and difficulties that surround us. May Mary show us, in her Son, the Way of peace,
and enlighten our vision, so that we can recognize Christ’s face in the face of
every human person, the heart of peace!"
