September 1 is the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Pope Francis urges us to see this as “a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation, raising to God our thanks for the marvelous 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.”
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) released “Care for God’s Creation,” the first of a seven-part video series on Catholic Social Teaching, the body of moral and social thought central to the Catholic faith. The release comes in conjunction with Care for Creation day. Watch the video here:
