  • Pope Francis on COVID-19 Vaccinations

    In a brotherly spirit, I offer this message of hope for a brighter future. Thanks to God and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from COVID-19. They grant us the hope of ending the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we work together.

    Being vaccinated with vaccines authorized by the competent authorities is an act of love. And contributing to ensure the majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one’s family and friends, love for all people. Love is also social and political, there is social love and political love; it is universal, always overflowing with small gestures of personal charity capable of transforming and improving societies (cf. Laudato si’, no. 231, cf. Fratelli tutti, 184).

    Vaccination is a simple but profound way of promoting the common good and caring for each other, especially the most vulnerable. I pray to God that everyone may contribute their own small grain of sand, their own small gesture of love; no matter how small, love is always great. Contribute with these small gestures for a better future.

  • Pope Francis has established September 1st as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation

    Pope Francis is encouraging the Catholic community around the world to pray for our common home. The day is inspired by Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato Si’, which calls on “every person living on this planet” to care for our shared Earth. He calls us all to celebrate this opportune moment to “reaffirm our 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.”

    There are many ways to respond to Pope Francis’ call to care for the gift of God’s creation—why not take some time out of your day on September 1st to walk in a local park or take a few moments to thank God for the flowers, fruits and/or vegetables growing in your garden? We can also pray for God’s creation. Following our Creator’s call to “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10) humbles us. With prayer, God knits us closer together in community and His grace can inspire hearts and transform minds.
