Laudato Si’ Week 2022 is here! This is a global event sponsored by the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and promoted by the Laudato Si’ Movement in collaboration with around 150 Catholic organizations. During this week we seek to educate, dialogue, promote and act for our sister Mother Earth: our Common Home, joining the canticle of Saint Francis of Assisi: “Praise be to you, oh, my Lord, in all your creatures!” (“Laudato Si, o mio Signore, per tutte le creature”) which is the title of Pope Francis’ Encyclical “Laudato Si”: for an ecological conversion.
As we join together to celebrate this week, we know there is still a lot of work to be done. In the week ahead, we will share some ways we are listening and journeying on an international level on down through a local level. We invite you to join with us in reflection for ways we can all dig a little deeper to help our common home.
Monday, May 23: Our Commitment
As we continue this celebration of Laudato Si Week, we remind ourselves of the response we made to the Vatican’s Invitation, a commitment to a Seven-Year Journey towards sustainability and Integral Ecology.
We commit ourselves to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly.
To invite you to reflect on our commitment, as we all listen and journey together.
