A"true Eucharistic experience" can recommit the faithful to the care of God's creation, said two U.S. Catholic bishops in a joint message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Pope Francis celebrates the Eucharist during a Pentecost mass on May 23, 2021, at St. Peter's Basilica in The Vatican. A"true Eucharistic experience" can recommit the faithful to the care of God's creation, said two U.S.
In 2015, Pope Francis instituted the observance in the Catholic Church, saying that it provided a"fitting opportunity" for Catholics"to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protection of creation as well as his pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live.
The five-week celebration of a"Season of Creation" had first been proposed in 2007 at the Third European Ecumenical Assembly, with the World Council of Churches moving the following year to endorse the time of prayer and action for environmental stewardship. Following Pope Francis' designation of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, Catholics throughout the world have increasingly participated in the extended"Season of Creation" observance.
The bishops noted that in his 2007 encyclical"Spe Salvi" , Pope Benedict XVI identified a profound shift in thought during the early 17th century that replaced hope in Christ with"faith in progress." Pope Francis underscored the dangers of this shift in"Laudato Si'," which, as the bishops noted, highlights a"technocratic paradigm whereby the unchecked power of technology drives the progressive devastation of the planet.
Rebuilding a broken world"can only happen in continuity with the first edifice, which has Jesus Christ as the cornerstone, the rock that holds everything together," said the bishops.
