The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (PWPN) is an official Pontifical work, entrusted to the Jesuits (Society of Jesus). Its International Directorate is in the Vatican City State, and each country where it operates has a National Director or Coordinator. Fr Frederic Fronos SJ, the International Director of PWPN (Vatican Office) has entrusted the Society of Jesus of Malaysia-Singapore (MAS) to look into these three nations (Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei) as its regional Prayer Network focus.
Conversation Hour is part of the Malaysian PWPN initiative derived from the Ignatian Spiritual Conversation model.

For the Cry of the Earth
The Earth is suffering from environmental crises caused by human activity, including climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. These issues disproportionately affect the poor, who are often forced to relocate due to natural disasters. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses ecological, social, economic, and political solutions. It is crucial for individuals to listen to the planet's distress and the plight of those most affected by environmental disasters. “Let us pray that each of us listen with our hearts to the cry of the Earth and of the victims of environmental disasters and the climate crisis, making a personal commitment to care for the world we inhabit.”
