Focolare Movement

Commitment to Peace

Dec 31, 2024

On the occasion of the World Day of Peace, 1 January, we renew the commitment of each of us and of the Focolare communities around the world to make this gift a reality as soon as possible.

Peace, welcome, courage, justice, dialogue, hope, solidarity, togetherness, fraternity, unity: words that express our planetary, strong, concrete commitment that begins with small daily gestures, so that there may be an end to weapons and an end to all conflicts, in every corner of the world.
