Lenten Carbon Fast
Pope Francis’ 2016 Lenten
message emphasizes the practice of the corporal and spiritual works of
mercy during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. Though he does not reference care for
creation we might well include compassionate care for our suffering Mother
Earth. The Global Catholic Climate Movement invites us to join with people
around the world in a Lenten Carbon Fast. Each country has a particular
day to fast and pray for care of our Sister Mother Earth. The days for the USA
are February 10th and March 25th (all countries)
and February 25th.
