Prayer for September from the Pope: Honoring and Safeguarding God's Creation

Pope Leo's Prayer for Our Relationship with Creation

Pope Leo XIV, the current leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has emphasised the importance of caring for our common home, the earth, by releasing a prayer dedicated to our relationship with all of creation. The prayer was delivered in the Vatican and is part of Pope Leo's commitment to safeguarding the earth during the Season of Creation.

The Season of Creation, a time of Christian prayer and commitment to safeguarding the earth, runs from September 1 to October 4. This year's theme is "Seeds of Peace and Hope". The season includes the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of ecology, on October 4.

Pope Leo's prayer echoes the sentiments of St. Francis of Assisi in the Canticle of Creation. In his prayer, Pope Leo praises God in His love and tenderness, expressing his belief that every creature, no matter how small, is surrounded by God's care. The prayer also emphasises the importance of caring for our common home, the earth.

Pope Leo's prayer intention for September is for our relationship with all of creation. He recited the prayer linking the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of Creation and the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' encyclical "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home." The prayer was released by the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network after Pope Leo's statement after the Angelus.

The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, a day of Christian prayer and ecological responsibility, is more important and urgent than ever according to Pope Leo. He called on Catholics to join him in marking the Sept. 1 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.

The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation was originally established by the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople in 1989. Pope Francis established the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation for Catholics.

However, the search results do not provide information about which organization took the initiative to spread the video of Pope Leo XIV on the topic of caring for creation. The prayer was released by the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network.

Pope Leo XIV's prayer is a powerful reminder of our responsibility to care for the earth and all its creatures. By joining Pope Leo in prayer, we can demonstrate our commitment to safeguarding our common home and fostering a culture of peace and hope.
