Quote for Reflection (Sunday, September 22, 2024)

“Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or revitalize the issue, the signs of climate change are here and increasingly evident. No one can ignore the fact that in recent years we have witnessed extreme weather phenomena, frequent periods of unusual heat, drought and other cries of protest on the part of the earth that are only a few palpable expressions of a silent disease that affects everyone. […] I ask everyone to accompany this pilgrimage of reconciliation with the world that is our home and to help make it more beautiful.”

– Pope Francis
