“Let us sing as we go. May our struggles and our concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope.” (Pope Francis, Laudato Si’)
On this day we honour the life and ministry of the Patron of Ecology.
During these challenging times, let us remember that we are stewards of God’s creation. May we always remember to care for the earth and for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers.

“Most High, all-powerful,
all-good Lord, all praise is yours,
all glory, honour and blessings.
To you alone, Most High,
do they belong.”
(St Francis of Assisi)
Creator God we praise your world
and look with awe on all that is.
May we commit to heal the earth
and share your gifts in faith and trust.
Brother Francis, in purity of heart
you gazed upon the world with love.
We ask you joyfully to intercede for us,
As guardians of our common home.
St Francis, pray for us.
