From the JPIC office we want to give importance to this international day of water because there are still more than two billion people in the world who do not have access to water and it is good that we become aware of this. On the other hand, we want to make ourselves aware that water is part of our lives and therefore of our spirituality. Water is an element of creation that interconnects all the dimensions of our life and we offer a reflection of how Saint Anthony M. Claret himself lived this.
As a Claretian family, let us make this international day a moment of reflection, prayer and awareness. May sister “water” help us to contemplate our creator, and to serve all of Creation, including our brothers and sisters.

22 March 2024, One of the effects of the triple environmental crisis is the scarcity of water for human consumption and for the sustainability of the environment. That is aggravated by the over-use that some human activities such as mining and agriculture make of it.
There are already many communities that are being affected by this problem, and many species that disappear or are forced to move in search of this precious good with all the consequences that this entails.
This is undoubtedly an important day to pray for the most vulnerable brothers and sisters and nature, and above all for a fair distribution of water. We also make ourselves more aware of a problem that affects us all and in which we can all do something.
As a Claretian family, we want to share this file in which you will find materials to pray as well as information about the origin of this international day and the problem of water. We thank the Lay Claretian who have lovingly prepared this theme for the entire Claretian family.
As usual, you can find the file translated into 5 Languages.
