Much of Canada is experiencing “extreme” fire danger conditions, with many other areas at “very high” or “high” risk. Numerous wildfires are actively burning across the prairie provinces. In his 2015 encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis identified contributing factors for the degradation of the environment and affirmed the “very solid scientific consensus” that climate change is occurring.
We are called to Care for Our Common Home in the ethical and spiritual understanding of the relationship between God, humans and the earth. Members are urged to unite in prayer for all creation being affected by wildfires.
