While the Season of Creation has come to its conclusion, an exhibition of 24 photos from Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Amazonia, Florida, Greece, Italy, Iceland, Australia, Turkey combined with St. Francis’ prayer, remind us that the work must be ongoing. The photos present a contrast between the beauty and wonder of Creation and the destruction of climate change, both to our environment and to populations around the world. We see in it what Pope Francis has described in Laudate Deum - the inadequacy of responses to climate change and a world near breaking point (LD # 2) as well as "the marvellous concert of all God's creatures" with the world that is our home (LD #67).
The exhibition can be viewed virtually on this website For the duration of the XVI General Assembly of Synod of the Bishops, from 4th to 29th October, the Vatican Press Office is hosting a preview with a selection of 15 photos. May it be a source of inspiration for all the delegates "to hear the cry of earth and the cry of the poor" (LS #49) View the Exhibition trailer. Comments are closed.
