"In today's celebration of Earth Day," the Pope says, "we are called to renew our sense of sacred respect for the earth, for it is not just our home but also God's home. Doing so, he underscored, "should make us all the more aware that we stand on holy ground!" Pope Francis made this appeal during his General Audience this morning, April 22, 2020, streamed from inside the Library of the Apostolic Vatican Palace. Recalling that today marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the Pontiff dedicated his catechesis to caring for the earth.
