PUBLIC STATEMENT OF THE THIRD ORDER CARMELITES
St. Andrew Corsini Community
ON THE STEWARDSHIP OF GOD'S CREATION IN SIBUYAN ISLAND, ROMBLON

"The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth He has given to mankind." (Psalm 115:16)

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." (Psalm 24:1)

The Third Order Carmelites- St. Andrew Corsini Community, guided by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Rule of St. Albert, and the Carmelite tradition of contemplation and service, reaffirm our sacred responsibility to be faithful stewards of God's creation.

Sacred Scripture teaches that while the heavens belong to the Lord, He has entrusted the earth to humanity (Psalm 115:16). This trust is a sacred responsibility to protect, preserve, and care for creation. At the same time, we proclaim that "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it" (Psalm 24:1); therefore, no one has the moral right to exploit or destroy what ultimately belongs to God.

Inspired by the Prophet Elijah, who encountered the living God on Mount Carmel, and by the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we recognize creation as a reflection of God's glory and a gift entrusted to our care.

In this spirit, we stand in prayerful solidarity with the people of Sibuyan Island and all who seek to protect its forests, mountains, rivers, seas, and rich biodiversity. We respectfully say NO TO MINING and to all forms of destruction of God's creation in Sibuyan Island, and we call on all sectors to pursue paths of development that respect the dignity of every person, protect the environment, and promote the common good.

As followers of Christ, we believe that genuine progress must always preserve the integrity of creation for present and future generations. May our love for the Creator be reflected in our faithful care for His creation.

May the intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the example of the Prophet Elijah strengthen us in living our vocation as faithful stewards of God's gifts
