YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBy the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer)
This month’s Pope Video talks about the grave challenge of protecting the oceans.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot join Pope Francis in proclaiming this warning and the urgency of taking measures to protect the oceans.
"Hello. Today, I’d like to speak to you about something that’s very important and that weighs on my heart: to speak about the oceans.
Oceans contain the bulk of our planet’s water supply, and also most of the immense variety of living creatures, many of which are threatened for various reasons.
And we are not aware of this, or we don’t want to take responsibility.
Let’s not forget that one of every two breaths I take is thanks to the oceans.
A month ago, I had a meeting with a group of fishermen. Seven of them told me this: “During the last months we gathered 6 tons of plastic.” This is the death of the oceans. It is the death of every living being. It is my death.
Creation is a project of love, of the love God gives to humanity.
An interdisciplinary approach to deal with the threats caused by the unjust management of our seas will help us to face this great challenge. And with this our survival is at stake.
Our solidarity with the “common home” is born from our faith.
Let us pray this month that politicians, scientists and economists work together to protect the world’s seas and oceans."
Each month, The Pope Video disseminates the Holy Father's prayer intentions regarding the challenges of humanity and the mission of the Church.
