The “Mass for the Care of Creation,” inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, has prayers and Mass readings designed “to ask God for the ability to care for creation.”
In his address to officials in Port Moresby, Pope Francis called for responsible use of natural resources, an end to tribal conflict, and celebrated Papua New Guinea's cultural diversity.
“Let us pray for the cry of the Earth,” Pope Francis urged the faithful in a video released Aug. 30.
