Parishes throughout the United States are preparing to celebrate Peace Sunday with Pax Christi (Peace of Christ) on January 20, 2013, the Independent Catholic News website reports today (January 14, 2013).
Writing to parishes, Bishop Malcolm McMahon -- President of Pax Christi -- said: "Pope Benedict's World Peace Day message for 2013 is 'Blessed Are the Peacemakers.'"
The Pax Christi office hopes that the "Blessed Are the Peacemakers" theme will encourage parishes to look at the qualities of being a peacemaker, and to celebrate those in their own communities who live out these qualities.
Pax Christi has promoted the annual Peace Day message since 1967.
