About this listen

Saint John Paul II, one of the most influential voices for peace in the 20th and early 21st centuries, tirelessly proclaimed the dignity of every human life as the foundation of a just and peaceful world. Throughout his papacy, he called on individuals, nations, and the Church to build what he called a “civilization of love,” where justice, solidarity, and forgiveness triumph over hatred and division.

In his many addresses for the World Day of Peace and writings like Centesimus Annus, Evangelium Vitae, and Solicitudo Rei Socialis, he taught that true peace is rooted not just in diplomacy or policy, but in the conversion of hearts, the respect for life, and the recognition of each person as a child of God.

This prayer is drawn from those teachings. It seeks to echo his urgent call to become peacemakers in a world torn by violence, fear, and injustice—by becoming people of compassion, truth, and mercy, beginning in our own hearts and homes.
