Pope Francis’s Prayer Intention For September Is For The ‘Cry Of The Earth’
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. Sep 3, 2024
Pope Francis has consecrated his monthly prayer intention to “the cry of the Earth” this September, urging Christians to feel the Earth’s “pain.” [emphasis, links added]
“If we took the planet’s temperature, it will tell us that the Earth has a fever,” the pontiff contends. “And it is sick, just like anyone who’s sick.”
“But are we listening to this pain?” he asks.
“Do we hear the pain of the millions of victims of environmental catastrophes?” he continues. “The ones suffering most from the consequences of these disasters are the poor, those who are forced to leave their homes because of floods, heat waves or drought.”
