This work contains a brief contextualization and interpretation of the Pope's message. Specifically, we investigated the current pope's speeches, messages, documents and find the place where the Pope Francis engaged in the same or similar topics and we connect them with a message for the World Day of Peace in order to get the bigger message and to the better understand his words. Finally, in conclusion, we have identified the five key emphases of the Pope's message for World Day of Peace, but it's also a message that the Pope speaks almost daily and calls on the world to change and conversion: a) not globalization indifference; b) no "culture of waste"; c) no hunger and poverty in the world; d) no to the war; e) do not lose hope.
