Pope's Prayer Intention: For the cry of the Earth

Print

In The Pope Video for September, Pope Francis invites us to pray for the care of the plant and to listen to “hear the pain of the millions of victims of environmental catastrophes.”

For Pope Francis, “the fight against poverty” and “the protection of nature” are two parallel paths that must be trodden in the same way by “changing our personal and community habits.” Humanity, the victim of the environmental crisis, can therefore also be the architect for change. And the images in The Pope Video demonstrate just that: from waste management to mobility, from agriculture to politics itself – there is so much to do and it all depends on us.

For humanity’s destiny and the destiny of creation cannot be separated, as Pope Francis has reiterated during his Pontificate, first in his encyclical Laudato si’ (2015) and later with his Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum (2023).

 

Let us pray that each of us listen with our hearts to the cry of the Earth and of the victims of environmental disasters and the climate crisis, making a personal commitment to care for the world we inhabit.
