Pope Leo XIV Prayer for Care of Creation 2026
They shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks
Isaiah 2:4
Hymn of Creation
Now let us praise Heaven-Kingdom’s guardian,
the Maker’s might and his mind’s thoughts,
the work of the glory-father – of every wonder,
eternal Lord. He established a beginning.
He first shaped for men’s sons
Heaven as a roof, the holy Creator;
then Middle-earth mankind’s guardian,
eternal Lord, afterwards prepared
the earth for men, the Lord almighty.
St. Caedmon
