The Vatican recently announced that a new formulary of prayers and biblical readings for the Mass will be added to the Roman Missal “for the care of creation.”
In his homily, the pope called for ecological conversion while drawing from the legacy of Pope Francis and his encyclical “Laudato Si’, on Care for Our Common Home.”
“We must pray for the conversion of many people, inside and outside of the church, who still do not recognize the urgency of caring for our common home,” Pope Leo XIV said while celebrating the new formulary of the Mass earlier this week in the gardens of the papal villa in Castel Gandolfo, the traditional summer residence of the popes some 15 miles southeast of Rome.
