On World Earth Day, which we celebrate annually on April 22rd, “Mother Earth” is crying out for help to all of her “children,” all inhabitants of the planet, to urgently care for her and repair the damage that is being done to the earth, which Pope Francis calls “Our Common Home — Our mother is crying out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.” The earth can indeed be called a “Mother,” as she provides for what we need to live.
The annual diocesan Chrism Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, April 12, 2022, at the Cathedral Church of the Sacred Heart in San Angelo. All are invited! A meal will follow the Mass for those who wish to partake.
