All are warmly invited to take part in the prayer and march on Saturday 22nd June to call for more protection of nature, God’s creation.
As we all know, 9 years ago in Laudato Si Pope Francis wrote “our sister Mother Earth “cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her.” (LS #2) Since then her cries have become ever louder. In Laudate Deum Pope Francis writes “…the world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point.” (LD#2) and that “… the other creatures of this world have stopped being our companions along the way and have become instead our victims.” (LD#15)
He also calls us to take action “… the demands that rise up from below throughout the world, … can end up pressuring the sources of power. It is to be hoped that this will happen with respect to the climate crisis.” (LD#37)
The RESTORE NATURE NOW march is a coalition of climate and nature organizations (including the National Trust and the RSPB) who have joined together and prepared a creative, family friendly and legal mass gathering. The Laudato Si Movement is one of the supporters and several Laudato Si animators will be there.
The Christian groups will have an ecumenical prayer service before the march in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, 114 Mount St, London W1K 3AH.
