I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:6
"The Catholic Church in the Philippines lives and celebrates the "Time of
Creation" with full involvement.
The Filipino Bishops exhorted priests,
nuns, laity, families, communities and Catholic movements to safeguard
creation, a gift of God, respecting every creature, the dignity of human
life, the environment.....the
"Time of Creation", which the universal Church celebrates from September
1st to October 4th, ...."Our common home is on the brink of catastrophe. Urgent action is
needed. We hope that this Time of Creation will lead us to renew our
commitment to act to ensure that all creation has a healthy and safe
home in which to thrive and participate in the renewal of the Oikos
(house) of God".
Various activities have been organized throughout the country to launch
the "Laudato Sì 'Action Platform", a seven-year program together to
experience Laudato Sì.
In the Pastoral Letter issued by the Bishops in
all the dioceses, the faithful are also invited to sign a petition
inviting international institutions to do more for the protection of the
planet and therefore of humanity.
Quoting the UN
Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the Filipino Bishops say: "The
world is dangerously close to irreversible global warming unequivocally
caused by human activities. This is the context in which we are called
to celebrate the Time of Creation, renewing and respecting our common
Home which is on the brink of the abyss"."
