WASHINGTON (AP) — Catholics are called to hope and action to protect creation, instilled in them by Jesus in the Eucharist, Archbishop Borys Gudziak and Bishop A. Elias Zaidan wrote in a statement for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.
Inspired by this year’s theme of “Hope and Act with Creation,” and drawing on the National Eucharistic Revival’s Year of Mission, the bishops reflect: “A true Eucharistic experience will also recommit us to the task to protect creation, ‘one that is eminently theological, for it is the point where the mystery of man and the mystery of God intersect.’ The care for creation is constitutive of the Christian life.”
The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation is commemorated on September 1. Archbishop Borys Gudziak of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, and Bishop A. Elias Zaidan of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on International Justice and Peace, issued the reflection, which may be found here.
