Papal Peace Messages

In 1968 Pope Paul VI issued a Message of Peace for January 1st, which he declared to be the "The Day of Peace." he and every Pope since have continued the custom, and publish a message every year, reflecting upon the "signs of the times" and Jesus Christ, "who is our peace".

Below is the message for 2010 from Pope Benedict XVI, and earlier messages will be added soon.
