Los católicos estamos llamados a la esperanza y a la acción para proteger la creación, inculcadas en nosotros por Jesús en la Eucaristía, escribieron el arzobispo Borys Gudziak y el obispo A. Elias Zaidan en una declaración con motivo de la Jornada Mundial de Oración por el Cuidado de la Creación.
Inspired by this year’s theme of “Hope and Act with Creation,” and drawing on the National Eucharistic Revival’s Year of Mission, the bishops reflect: “A true Eucharistic experience will also recommit us to the task to protect creation, ‘one that is eminently theological, for it is the point where the mystery of man and the mystery of God intersect.’ The care for creation is constitutive of the Christian life.”
The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation is commemorated on September 1. Archbishop Borys Gudziak of the Ukrainian Archeparchy of Philadelphia, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, and Bishop A. Elias Zaidan of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on International Justice and Peace, issued the reflection which may be found aquí.
