Pope
to lead liturgy for World Day of Prayer for Creation
(Vatican Radio) At the end of his weekly General Audience on
Wednesday, Pope Francis recalled that next Tuesday, September 1st, the Church
will mark the first World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Following in
the footsteps of the Orthodox Church, Catholics are encouraged to organize prayer
and practical initiatives to combat the environmental crisis facing our planet.
Noting that local Churches around the world are planning events
to reflect on the ways our lifestyles impact the environment, the Pope said he
will be joining bishops, priests, religious and lay people from 5pm in St
Peter's Basilica for a special Liturgy of the Word, which local people and
visiting pilgrims are warmly invited to attend.
