Laudato Si’ Week: May 16 – 24

Laudato Si’ Week is from May 16 to 24 and this year, we are celebrating the Special Anniversary Year of Laudato Si’ on May 24, 2021. Pope Francis invites us all to complete the transition to integral ecology by 2030. Various programs will offer dialogue and action to help realize the goals of Laudato Si’ in the care of our common home, Mother Earth.

Laudato Si’ – See – Judge – Act (Sr. Ingrid Geissler, CPS)

Laudato Si’ Roll-Out Plan

As we step into the Jubilee Year from December 2024 to 2025,

let us invite God the Holy Spirit to enable us to be real pilgrims of Hope

in our communities and among the people we serve.

Father in heaven,

may the faith you have given us

in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,

and the flame of charity enkindled

in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

reawaken in us the blessed hope

for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us

into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.

May those seeds transform from within both humanity

and the whole cosmos

in the sure expectation

of a new heaven and a new earth,

when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,

your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee

reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,

a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread

the joy and peace of our Redeemer

throughout the earth.

To you our God, eternally blessed,

be glory and praise for ever.

Amen (more…)
