WATCH: Another Stunning Video From Pope Francis

Aleteia - published on 02/05/16

One of the pontiff's February prayer intentions is that we see creation as a gift to protect

You shall not pollute the land in which you live. … You shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell; for I the LORD dwell among the Israelites. —Numbers 35:33-34

The pope has two prayer intentions for February, and one of them is that we “take good care of creation — a gift freely given — cultivating and protecting it for future generations.”
