Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass at the Laudato Si’ Village in Castel Gandolfo on 1 September, marking the annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. He emphasized the transformation of instruments of destruction into instruments that sustain life, reiterating the call for peace and environmental stewardship.
The choice of location, Laudato Si’ Village, underscores the Pope's focus on ecology and the protection of the environment. This site serves as a testament to the teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi, known for his profound connection to nature.
Pope Leo invited the faithful to contemplate the beauty of the natural world and, through it, to recognize the Creator. His emphasis on the environment resonates with his broader commitment to ecological issues throughout his papacy.
The celebration in Castel Gandolfo formed part of Pope Leo XIV’s ongoing efforts to inspire global action for the environment.
