World Day of Prayer for Creation
Brigidine Sisters and their colleagues remain mindful of the urgent plea of Laudato Si’ to respond to the cry of Earth and peoples rendered poor.
On 1st September we observe World Day of Prayer for Creation. The day was inspired by the Encyclical Laudato Si and established by Pope Francis in 2015.
It begins the annual Season of Creation, which runs until October 4th.
Continuing the legacy of the late Pope Francis, Pope Leo sends message for the World Day of Prayer for Creation.
He uses the prophetic expression: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks” (Is 2:4), calling all people to transform violence into paths of Peace.
He links war, peace and care for our common home, highlighting that human conflict “leaves behind social and ecological destruction that endures for generations.”
