His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, requested, "Become craftsmen of a new humanity, where brothers and sisters -- members all of the same family -- are able to live in peace." His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, stated, "If you want peace, work for justice."

America, Peace and Justice

Let the flag of America

Stand for peace around the world

Let the flag of America

Stand for justice when it's unfurled.

And let the family of man create

A new humanity,

So nations in brotherhood

Can provide for all equally.

 

Let the flag of America

Make each citizen feel tall

Let the flag of America

Stand for justice for great and small..

And if you seek peace, work for justice

Everywhere in the world,

So the flag of America

Makes all proud where its unfurled.

Dedicated to the innocents who perished in the United States on September 11, 2001, the innocents who perished globally in needless warfare since, the peacemakers of the world, and to the establishment of peace and justice worldwide.
