Laudato Si Reflection
"All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You embrace with your tenderness all that exists. ... O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth, so precious in your eyes." (Laudato Si' Prayer by Pope Francis)

Join a Weekly Virtual (Zoom) Program on
Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si
Mondays, April 5 – May 10
7:30 - 8:30 pm
Pope Francis writes in Laudato Si (May 2015), “ I urgently appeal for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet”. A number of themes reappear throughout the encyclical for example the intimate relationship between the poor and the fragility of the planet, the conviction that everything in the world is connected, the value proper to each creature, integral ecology, our throwaway culture, and the proposal of a new lifestyle. These themes will be reframed and enriched repeatedly.
In this pandemic time, we will meet once a week via Zoom for six consecutive Monday evenings for 1 hour from 7:30 to 8:30 PM, starting April 5 to May 10. If interested please contact Joe Lavin, certified as a Laudato Si animator by the Global Catholic Climate Movement, at jjlavin0120@gmail.com or 201-960-5844. Joe is also a co-chair of our Environmental Justice Task Force. Open to all from 14 to 100!. |
