Dear Brothers and Sisters, 

As Catholics, we have been asked by Pope Francis to seek the change of heart that is required to make the actions of the Laudato Siˊ Action Platform part of our daily lives.   
As we approach Earth Day this Saturday, April 22, we pray, as Pope Francis said, for a “profound interior conversion” leading us toward a future in which “all people can prosper personally and economically in harmony with the gifts God has given us in nature.”

Please join me, my brothers & sister Passionists throughout the world, and our fellow parishioners in praying the attached prayer and then taking some action, however small at this time, to glorify God by helping our precious environment.
