A Call to Care for Our Common Home
Tonight, as we switch off our lights for Earth Hour, we are invited to do more than sit in darkness, we are called to shine as stewards of God’s creation.
In this special year dedicated to St Francis of Assisi, we remember his deep love for all that God has made. He saw creation not as something to use, but as a gift to cherish, our brothers and sisters in creation: Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Wind, Sister Water.
We are reminded through Laudato Si’ that caring for our common home is not optional, it is part of our faith. It is an act of love, justice, and responsibility.
🕯️ So tonight, let Earth Hour be more than a moment, let it be a movement.
✔️ Turn off your lights
✔️ Pause and pray in gratitude for creation
✔️ Commit to one action that protects our planet
Because caring for the Earth is caring for each other.Because creation is a reflection of God’s love.Because our faith calls us to act.
Let us follow St Francis and be instruments of peace, for the Earth and for all who call it home. 🌿
