1st SEPTEMBER 2017: 3rd WORLD DAY FOR THE CARE OF CREATION - A PROPOSAL OF PRAYER

Giornata per la cura

As every year, the Dicastery for promoting Human Integral Development has prepared a simple Guide in order to help the faithful to participate in the 3rd World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.

The Holy Father invites us to "assume a respectful and responsible attitude towards Creation"(General Audience, August 30, 2017).
Prayer, alone, in the family or in a community, does help and educate to assume that attitude.
We invite you to reserve some minutes for prayer, both on September 1st and in the following days. 

The guide is interactive and you can read and follow it on your smartphone, tablet, computer, or you can print it. 

The Joint Message by His Holiness Pope Francis and His Holiness Bartholomew I, Archbishop of Costantinople, for the Third World Day for the Care of Creation will be delivered on the 1st September 2017.
