CWN Editor's Note: On the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Bishop Socrates Mesiona of Puerto Princesa, in the Philippines, asked the faithful to pray for the earth, which he said is “sick.”
“This nonstop rain, floods, and sometimes extreme heat make us pay attention to nature,” the bishop said in his homily. “Climate change is a manifestation of our environment’s sickness. The environment is like our body. We must pay attention not to abuse it.”
