World Environment Day 2025 Message
Dear Brethren,
A show of our compassion for nature is beyond growing trees and cleaning the coasts. It must be a change of our social norms and cultures and a restructuring of our economic systems and priorities, and reforms of our policies and governance of natural wealth.
We cannot justify and defend abusers of power and greed of wealth nor can we be oppressors, exploiters, abusers or satisfy our worldly lust for power and wealth.
We must always be reminded that we are not above all creation. We are integral among creation. We are commanded to be good stewards.
We always show and celebrate our faith by going to church and worship the Lord by all times and moments that we do. But let us go beyond that by performing the words of the Lord outside the places of worship, everyday.
By making peace and justice with our neighbors, with our selves and with nature, we are also making peace with the Creator and lifting His name high.
