Prayers of the Pope
Eloquent words of comfort and faith from John Paul II.
Do not forget the Creator
To you, humanity, who look with pleasure on the works of your hand, the fruit of your genius, Christ says to you: Do not forget the One who gave birth to us all! Do not forget the Creator!
Further, the more profoundly you know the laws of nature, the more you discover its wealth and potential, the more intensely you must remember him.
Do not forget the Creator-Christ tells us-and respect Creation! Do your work using the resources that God has given you as they should be used! Transform these riches with the help of science and technology, but do not abuse them; be neither a usurper nor an exploiter, without considering the goods that have been created! Do not destroy or contaminate! Remember your neighbor, and the poor! Think of the future generations!
