From our JPIC Committee As this year’s Season of Creation draws to its end,
the warnings from the scriptures grow stronger and more dire. They reflect
and support again the sense of urgency about climate change that Popes Leo
XIV and Francis, climate scientists, the young, and so many around the world
have been declaring. Amos focuses
attention on those who remain indifferent to the suffering of their sisters
and brothers and promises them punishment. The psalmist again insists that
God loves and will lift up the poor. Jesus tells
the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, warning that the time can come when
it will be too late for our conversion. We need instead to listen to Moses,
the prophets of our time, and Jesus himself, the one who has indeed risen
from the dead. Paul urges Timothy and us to remain faithful, living and preaching
our faith through all that lies ahead. As we
celebrate the Feast of St. Francis let us reignite our love and care for
creation. May we always be instruments of God’s peace for all.  |
