In his message for World Day of Peace on January 1, the pope lamented the "devastation" seen in much of the earth and "the conflicts that presently plague our human family," the Christian Today website reports today (Jan. 3, 2025).
Pope Francis said that certain challenges were causing "havoc" in the world , including "the inhuman treatment meted out to migrants, environmental decay, the confusion willfully created by disinformation, the refusal to engage in any form of dialogue, and the immense resources spent on the industry of war."
"All these, taken together, represent a threat to the existence of humanity as a whole," he said.
"At the beginning of this year, then, we desire to heed the plea of suffering humankind in order to feel called, together and as individuals, to break the bonds of injustice to proclaim God's justice.
