For Immediate Release
March 19, 2003

In these very critical days through which humanity proceeds, the Ecumenical
Patriarchate repeats again its wish and prayer for peace and for the
avoidance of war even in this last moment. It makes a plea to whoever is
able to contribute to this end to exhaust all of their means so that
humanity will not mourn new victims and horrible holocausts.

With this opportunity, the Ecumenical Patriarchate reminds everyone that
the basic prerequisite of peace is the respect for the sanctity of the
human person and his freedom and dignity. From this respect are born all
other prerequisites for the peaceful co-existence of all human beings on
Earth in the love of one God and Father, who is not a God of war and battle
but of reconciliation and peace.

May peace and good will be established permanently on Earth for the glory
of God and the prosperity of all human beings, whom God loves equally.

Of the Holy and Sacred Synod
