"The world will never be the dwelling-place of peace, till peace has found a home in the heart of each and every human person, till all preserve within themselves the order ordained by God to be preserved."

— St. John XXIII in his encyclical Pacem in Terris ("Peace on Earth"), issued on this day in 1963
