St. Francis of Assisi loved all of God's creation, he knew that every creature - animate or inanimate - was his brother and sister. Now he intercedes in heaven to assist those who would protect God's creation.
Even today, those inspired by the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi speak of the three elements of Franciscan spirituality: love for peace, justice and care of God's creation. Franciscans from around the world, in cooperation with many other Catholics and believers of other faiths, have developed the Catholic Climate Covenant. (Info at www.catholicclimatecovenant.org)
