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.”
