From the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Francis has repeated this saying on many occasions: God always forgives, men sometimes, but nature never.
POPE FRANCIS
This must be our attitude towards Creation: we must protect it. Because if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us. Let's not forget that.
He has also pointed out that his encyclical Laudato si' was not simply about protecting the environment; it was about protecting nature because consequences are paid for by those who do not have the resources to flee.
In his message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, the Pope asks humanity not to become arrogant. He says humans must change from being “predators” of the world to “farmers” of the Earth, which God entrusted to man. The Pope also strongly criticizes those who believe the Earth can be manipulated to satisfy the interests of man.
This day of prayer will be celebrated in the Catholic Church on September 1 and the motto for that day is “Hope and act with Creation.”
