🌱 Care of Creation
Let us imagine a world in which the energies currently invested in war are directed toward integral human development, to overcoming poverty, protecting human dignity and reconciling divided peoples. Such a vision reflects faith in the coming of God’s Kingdom.
The true tools for building peace are not weapons of destruction, instead they are truth, dialogue, patience, goodness, justice, mercy, understanding, care and love. These flow from hearts shaped by the Gospel and sustained by God’s grace. Only these qualities possess the power to transform individuals, renew communities and heal the wounds of our world.
Dear brothers and sisters, the path before us is clear, though it is not easy. We are called to allow our hearts to be renewed, so that we might seek peace and care for creation. Scripture tells us to guard our hearts, for everything we do flows from them (cf. Prov 4:23).
[Pope Leo XIV: Message for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, The Vatican, 15th August 2026]
✝️ 800th Jubilee Year of St Francis 2026
In this 2026 Jubilee Year Pope Leo offers you a PLENARY INDULGENCE.
This means that ALL of your time in purgatory due to past (confessed) sins will be remitted (‘cancelled’). Required is: a visit to a Franciscan place, Communion, Confession & reciting the Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, and the Glory Be for the intentions of the Pope.
To help you gain this very special Plenary Indulgence, CONFESSIONS must be made within 7 days of the Franciscan experience.
[Note, this Plenary Indulgence can instead be applied to a deceased person in purgatory.]
