Pope Francis' prayer intention for September 2024 has been released. It asks that we "commit ourselves to the fight against poverty and the protection of nature, changing our personal and community habits ". Speaking in the newly released video for the Season of Creation, addressed to Christians and all people of good will, Pope Francis encourages us to actively get involved in the fight against this global crisis, by adopting ecological as well as economic, social and political responses. Pope Francis calls for each of us to " listen with our hearts to the cry of the Earth and of the victims of environmental disasters and climate change, making a personal commitment to care for the world we inhabit." The Pope emphasises that “the ones suffering most from the consequences of natural disasters are the poor,” and that it is necessary to “commit ourselves to the fight against poverty and the protection of nature.” For further resources on this site, click here For additional resources, click here |
