With deep acknowledgement I greet the initiative of the Peace Committee, which honours the 76th birthday of the Holy Father John Paul II. Your initiative is even more respectable, considering that the music to the words of Jesus Christ and the Holy Father was written by Sri Chinmoy. In this way the musical homage for John Paul II becomes simultaneously an expression of interreligious dialogue, which has always held an important position in the action and teaching of John Paul II.
