The Pontifical messages commemorating the World Day of Peace have been, over the years since pope Paul VI began them in 1968, a notable contribution to the building of peace, justice and development. The twenty seven messages by pope John Paul II are a valuable ethical, theological and cultural heritage, indicating an itinerary for a full and free life worthy of a humanity deserving that name. The dignity of the human beings, their fundamental rights, the awareness that his true ultimate horizon is transcendence, are the basic themes that John Paul II reflected upon in his messages for the World Day of Peace. These texts have not lost their timeliness; on the contrary, they keep their purpose in the present: stressing the importance of the Church's reflection upon the need for constructing a peaceful world.
