"To become authentic peacemakers, it is fundamental to keep in
mind our transcendent dimension and to enter into constant dialogue with God,
the Father of mercy, whereby we implore the redemption achieved for us by his
only-begotten Son. In this way mankind can overcome that progressive dimming
and rejection of peace which is sin in all its
forms: selfishness and violence, greed and the will
to power and dominion, intolerance, hatred and unjust
structures."
Pope Benedict XVI
