CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME | As we enter the Season of Creation, we are invited to pause, pray, and reflect on the message of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.

Pope Leo calls us to recognize the gift and sacredness of life and to appreciate the earth that sustains us. Caring for creation becomes a concrete expression of our gratitude and praise to the Creator. He likewise urges us to hear the cry of our wounded world and respond with a renewed commitment to peace, healing, and justice.

Throughout this Season of Creation, may we allow God to transform our hearts and inspire us to become instruments of peace, bearers of hope, and responsible stewards of our Common Home.

We had the great honour of meeting Pope Leo XIV in a private audience at the Vatican last week. His words encouraged us to serve every person with dignity and to care for the poor, the displaced and the forgotten.

Yesterday in Istanbul, during a prayer meeting at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Father mentioned us again and thanked everyone for their support to the Church’s humanitarian aid work, especially after the 2023 earthquake.

The local Caritas team in Turkey has done great work in their response.

We’re so grateful for his trust and blessing.
