INTERNATIONAL NEWS | The Earth in Crisis: United Nations warns of a planet “pushed beyond its limits”

“The Earth is the Lord’s, and all it holds” (Psalm 24:1), yet today, creation groans under the weight of human neglect. As United Nations Secretary - General Antonio Guterres sounds the alarm over a climate emergency, the Church and the faithful are reminded of the sacred duty to care for our common home.

In this critical moment, we are called not only to awareness, but to conversion, of hearts, lifestyles, and systems, so that future generations may still behold the beauty of God’s creation.

Bamboo isn’t a tree—it’s a type of grass—but it grows tall, strong, and resilient. Some species can grow up to 47.6 inches in just 24 hours, making it a remarkable natural resource.

In just seven years, bamboo can store up to 2 tonnes of carbon, helping reduce greenhouse gases. Bamboo groves also cool surrounding areas and provide shade, offering relief from the intense summer heat.

By planting more bamboo, we can build greener, cooler, and more climate-resilient communities for everyone.

WHEN WE HARM CREATION, WE HARM OURSELVES

The floods that have affected many parts of our province these past days remind us not only of the fragility of life but also of the sad state of our environment. The overflowing rivers and inundated streets are not just the result of heavy rain — they are also a reflection of what we have done, or failed to do, for our common home.

Mother Earth is crying. Her tears fall as floods upon our land. We have cut down trees but planted too few. We have built without balance, consumed without conscience, and neglected the care that creation deserves. What we see today is not only a natural phenomenon but also a moral reminder — that when we harm creation, we harm ourselves.

But there is another wound that makes the pain of these floods even deeper — the wound of dishonesty. It is heartbreaking to know that some flood control projects meant to protect lives and communities have become channels for corruption. When public funds are stolen or misused, it is not only money that is lost — it is the trust of the people, the safety of families, and the dignity of the poor.

Such corruption is not only a civic failure; it is a grave moral offense against both God and humanity. These questionable “flood control projects” mock the cries of the poor who suffer most during disasters. They betray our call to stewardship and solidarity.

Still, even in this moment of distress, God speaks. Through the wind and the waters, He calls us to repentance and renewal. He invites us to rediscover our responsibility as stewards, not exploiters, of His creation — and as citizens who must demand honesty and accountability from those who serve the public.

Let these floods awaken in us a deeper ecological and moral conversion. Let them remind us that caring for the environment and promoting integrity in governance are both acts of faith, justice, and love.

To all who are affected, we extend our closeness and prayers. May our parishes, institutions, and communities continue to open their doors to those in need. Let our compassion overflow more than the waters that surround us.

As we rebuild what has been damaged, may we also renew our hearts — with greater respect for life, greater care for creation, and greater commitment to honesty and solidarity.

May the Lord of all creation protect us, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Lady of Guadalupe, intercede for us and for our wounded land.
