Peace Sunday is celebrated on the second Sunday in Ordinary Time, 19 January 2025. The theme chosen by Pope Francis for this year is ‘Forgive us our trespasses: Grant us your peace’. Pax Christi, the international Catholic Movement for Peace, have produced a series of resources to mark the day. Peace Sunday is a way of observing the World Day of Peace and promoting the Pope’s message for that year.
Pope Francis’ Message for the World Day of Peace 2025 The message speaks of how we must listen to the ‘pleas of an endangered humanity’, how the year of Jubilee inspires us to seek the liberating justice of God in our world and how by ‘opening our hearts to our brothers and sisters, we will restore God’s justice on earth’ and ‘move forward to achieve the goal of peace’.
