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

InThe Pope Videofor September,Pope Francisinvites us to pray for the care of the plant and to listen to “hear the pain of the millions of victims of environmental catastrophes.”

ForPope 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 inThe Pope Videodemonstrate 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 encyclicalLaudato si’(2015)and later with his Apostolic ExhortationLaudate Deum(2023).
