Care of Creation

Prayer for Integrity of Creation September 1 2015Pope Francis has designated September 1 as a Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. In a letter announcing the Day of Prayer, the Pope said,

The annual World Day of prayer for the Care of Creation offers to individual believers and to the community a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation, raising to God our thanks for the marvellous works that He has entrusted to our care, invoking his help for the protection of creation and his mercy for the sins committed against the world in which we live.  The celebration of the Day on the same date as the Orthodox Church will be a valuable opportunity to bear witness to our growing communion with our orthodox brothers.”
