Enter prayer time in a large, spacious space with airy atmosphere cool, quiet, mixed with the songs of birds, the colors of trees,... each of you You should choose a comfortable state of mind to pray, for a period of time silence, listening to God's message in creation with all senses. The focus of prayer times invites the community to contemplate and give thanks gratitude for God's creation and the invitation to live "Laudato Si'".

God created “Mother Earth” from which all life originates, “Brother Face "Heaven" has energy that radiates life, "Sister Water" nourishes and revives people and all creatures, and for them we are called to cultivate and preserve them this garden.

Furthermore, God is the almighty Father, God is present in the entire universe and in the smallest of creatures, God embraces all that exists with the gentle. It is God who has given us the gift of nature. He longs for termites Our relationship with the environment is not one of domination, but as a force of harmony and with the role of housekeeper. God also calls we discover the value of each species, and realize that we are united deeply with all creatures on the journey together towards the boundless light of God. But what have we done to protect the life and beauty that God gives us? Do we live together as brothers and sisters, without harming anyone? we need to be God heals so that we can sow beauty instead of pollution and destruction.

God is God of the poor, God calls us to help the abandoned and the oppressed forgotten on this earth, they are truly precious people in my eyes God. Looking at the fact that “the human environment” and the  “natural environment” are degenerating together Together, we cannot cope with environmental degradation one by one properly, if we do not save Pay attention to the causes related to human and social degradation.

Facing destruction destruction that Mother Earth and all Creation are suffering, especially the pandemic COVID-19 is spreading worldwide and in Vietnam, the invitation in the encyclical Laudato Si' “Listen to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.” becomes even more pressing for our humanity. What lifestyle have I chosen? Me Do you dare to live simply, satisfied with just enough needs? and dream of a way Is it better to live more fairly and sustainably for this earth?

Special message “Laudato Si'” is an invitation to praise “the Creator” in his beauty creative process. Pope Francis invites us to take care of the throne common home, restoring a sense of wonder and awe before the environment around us. In this contemplation, we can reconnect with him Our correct understanding of nature, and rediscovery are interrelated relationships between ourselves and others, and ultimately with all of Creation. What kind of Common Home will we leave to the next generation?

Hours of prayer were left with the congregation heavily involved emotions when contemplating creative works. Hoping for Germany's invitation Pope Francis invites the faithful to celebrate the annual Season of Creation to “Renew your faith in the God of creation, while praying and work to take care of the common home" is spread to each family, community group, parish, etc. The prayer time ends with the Peace Prayer of St. Francis with May each person become an instrument of peace for the human family and the family want to create.
