The planet has a fever and is in bad shape: Pope Francis asks to pray for the care of the planet

In The Pope Video for September, Pope Francis invites us to pray for the care of the plant and to listen to “hear the pain of the millions of victims of environmental catastrophes.” In his video message, the Pope emphasizes that “the ones suffering most from the consequences of natural disasters are the poor,” and that it is necessary to “commit ourselves to the fight against poverty and the protection of nature.” The Earth “has a fever. It is sick,” Pope Francis says, and he asks for “responses that are not only ecological, but are also social, economic and political.”
