Résumé
--
On October 27, 1986, on the invitation of John-Paul II, the first assembly of the world's great religions took place in Assisi, to pray for peace. Of the Pope's many bold projects, this remains one of the most promising and we have certainly not yet measured all its implications. The 'Spirit of Assisi' has become an authentic icon for peace. Year after year since 1987, the Community of Sant'Egidio, engaged in all actions for peace with the blessing of the Holy Father, has followed a true pilgrimage through the principal European cities. They give life to the 'Spirit of Assisi', the desire for peace inspired by Saint Francis who, at the time of the crusades, went to dialogue with the Sultan of Egypt. During the annual days of prayer for peace, men and women of the most diverse religions and non-believers meet and engage in an in-depth dialogue that reaches beyond historical divisions, without ever compromising their specific identities, united in the desire for peace that lies at the heart of every religion. It is a question of stressing the responsibility of each man and woman of faith in society, in regard to domestic and international peace of clearly stating that no war can be 'holy', because 'peace is the name of God', while war is the mother of all types of poverty. For the first time, the Assisi day of prayer for peace will take place in Lyons, France, in September 2005.
