Vatican City, 1 September 2014 (VIS) –
After the Marian prayer, the Pope greeted the many pilgrims gathered
in St. Peter's Square, and remarked that on Monday 1 September the
Day for the Protection of Creation will be held in Italy. Organised
by the Italian Episcopal Conference, the theme this year will be
“educating for the protection of creation, for the health of our
country and city”.
Francis underlined the importance of
the issue and launched an appeal for “strength and commitment on
the part of all – institutions, associations and citizens – so
that the life and health of people may be protected, also respecting
the environment and nature”.
He also addressed a special greeting to
the Catholic members of parliament gathered in their fifth
international meeting, encouraging them to “live the delicate role
of representatives of the people in conformity with Gospel values”.
