This is an urgent plea from Pope Francis, written in his second letter to the Roman Catholic Church called, Laudato Si, which means "Praise be to You," quoted from St. Francis of Assisi.
The official letter is found in this link: https://laudatosi.com/watch.
Here's also a link to a short video summarizing the letter, posted by Catholic Aid for Overseas Development (CAFOD) in the UK.
The Catholic sisters I met in Naraha and I had a good chat about our common faith in Jesus and common call to care for creation with Laudato Si and the wonderful Christian conservation organization, A Rocha International (www.arocha.org), which I became involved with in recent years.
Earth is not a resource for us human beings to consume and waste as we wish. It is our common home and home for all creation. We, humans, selfishly have hurt it for so long, but we are the only creatures that are given the gift of conscience and moral will to repent and change the course of our action. Caring for God's creation begins with a renewed mindset.
