In celebrating the resurrection of Christ during this year of Jubilee and reflecting on the legacy of our beloved Pope Francis, let us call to mind our responsibility to care for all of Creation. This includes our brothers and sisters in the Global South experiencing devastating debt, the Earth, and all people living at the margins. Easter Sunday and the global Earth Week began at the same time this year. In May we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the papal encyclical Laudato Si’ and reflect on our commitments to climate justice and care for our Earth that are needed now more than ever.
Following the death of Pope Francis, Caritas Internationalis issued a statement calling the pope “a beacon of compassion, justice, and unwavering commitment to the dignity of every human person.”
Development and Peace - Caritas Canada invites everyone to join us as we walk in the People’s Parade for Life on Earth on June 7th at the Halifax Harbourfront. More details to follow.
