Toward the conclusion of yesterday’s General Audience on August 29, 2018, Pope Francis recalled that Saturday September 1, marks the World Day of Care for Creation.
The Pope was giving his final remarks to Italian-speaking pilgrims, after having he reflected in his catechesis on his Aug. 25-26 Apostolic Trip to Ireland, for the occasion of the 9th World Meeting of Families.
Francis remembered this will be the fourth World Day of Prayer for the care of creation, noting it is being celebrated «in union with our Orthodox brothers and sisters and with the adhesion of other Churches and Christian communities.»
«In this year’s message,» he underscored, «I wish to draw attention to the issue of water, the primary good to be protected and made available to all.»
Saying he is grateful for the various initiatives of the particular Churches, Institutes of consecrated life and ecclesial aggregations, the Pope concluded saying: «I invite you all to join in prayer on Saturday, for our common home, for the care of our common home.»
