John Paul II. Peace with God the Creator, peace with all creation: Message on the occasion of World Peace Day, January 1, 1990

Abstract

There is a growing awareness today that the threat to world peace lies not only in the arms race, regional conflicts and constant injustices between peoples and nations, but also in the lack of due attention to nature, the devastation of natural resources and the progressive deterioration of "quality of life". . The feeling of uncertainty and danger that arises from such a situation is the basis for group selfishness, indifference to others and dishonesty.
