Catholic Commission for Social Justice
By Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ & Director, CREDI
CCSJ urges everyone to continue to pray and act during this final week of the Season of Creation, which runs until October 4, the Feast day of St Francis of Assisi. As you know, the theme this year is: Jubilee for the Earth: New Rhythms, New Hope.
Today (June 5), the world observes World Environment Day. Let us all “Join the race to make the world a better place.”
Years ago, St Pope John Paul II called the environmental crisis “a moral issue”.
I am in London at the moment, and recently spent hours enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show (May 24-28) at which both Barbados and Grenada won Gold medals (third straight win for Barbados). T&T has also won medals there in the past.
