Creating a “better world”, caring for creation is no small task. It is, though, what we are called to do each day, with each breath, each act.
Pope Francis tells us:
“What is involved in the creation of 'a better world'? The expression does not allude naively to abstract notions or unattainable ideals; rather, it aims at an authentic and integral development, at efforts to provide dignified living conditions for everyone, at finding just responses to the needs of individuals and families, and at ensuring that God’s gift of creation is respected, safeguarded and cultivated.”
In prayer we can dialogue with God, seeking the courage to be just, to care for all creation: the people, the creatures, the flora, the environment.
