"We are all protectors of creation, of the plan of God written in nature; protectors of one another, of the environment. Let us not allow that signs of destruction and death accompany our journey of this world. But protection also means that we must take care of ourselves. Let us recall that hate, envy, pride dirty the life. To protect means to be attentive to our own feelings, our sentiments, our heart. Because precisely from our heart is where good intentions and bad intentions come out; those that build up and those that tear down. We must not be afraid of goodness, neither of tenderness."
-Pope Francis Inaugural Homily, March 19, 2013
