“Around the world lives are being ripped apart, childhoods extinguished, and basic human dignity discarded, amidst the cruelty and degradations of war. “
– UN Secretary-General António Guterres
Brigidines acknowledge the United Nations’ International Day of Peace, which falls annually on 21 September.
Through the theme chosen for 2025, everyone is called to: Act Now for a Peaceful World.
Consider the UN’s message:
“In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is critical for everyone to take concrete action to mobilize for peace.
From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play.
We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination and inequality; practice respect and embrace the diversity of our world.” ( UN 2025)
