New Pope Francis video urges Care for Creation


Pope Francis offers his prayer intention for February through a short video. He asks people everywhere to pray in solidarity and in response to the many eco-challenges facing humanity.

"The prayer intention for February comes at a crucial time for humanity, addressing an area where we urgently need to make changes," says Fr Frédéric Fornos, S.J., international director of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network. "The Pope asks us to unite in respect for creation and to act to preserve the natural world for future generations" he adds; "we need a conversation that brings us together, because we are all affected by environmental challenges, especially the poor and displaced".

Helping develop the February video was the Global Catholic Climate Movement. Tomás Insua, the global coordinator for the GCCM, said that the Pope's video "is a compelling follow up of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'.
