This year's message for peace is entitled: Migrants and Refugees: Men and Women in search of Peace. Pope Francis offers heartfelt good wishes for peace in this message, inviting people of good will to embrace those fleeing war, hunger and persecution.
The message also poses the question: Why are there so many migrants and refugees in our world today? Pope Francis answers this by considering the many conflicts that force people to leave their homelands, but he notes also the desire for a better life for them and their families.
The Holy Father notes that some people consider the growth in migration as a threat.. But, he responds: “For my part, I ask you to view it with confidence, as an opportunity to build peace.”
