"The Vatican on Monday (Aug. 10) announced a World Day of Prayer for
the Care of Creation, the latest move by Pope Francis to push environmental issues up the global agenda.
The prayer day will be celebrated annually on Sept. 1, in line with the Orthodox Church’s day for the protection of the environment, the pope said in the newly released letter.
“As Christians we wish to offer our contribution towards overcoming the ecological crisis which humanity is living through,” Francis wrote in the letter, addressed to Cardinal Peter Turkson, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
Describing an “ecological crisis” currently underway, the pope said Sept. 1 would provide people with “a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation.” HP
...and all the world wondered after the beast.
