And from our friends at the Catholic Climate Covenant:
Early this morning, the Vatican released Pope Francis’s encyclical letter on ecology, Laudato Si’. It is a beautiful document. It says all of the best and truest things that could be said about our place here on Earth, “our common home,” in the words of Pope Francis. Pope Francis calls us to understand our role among the deeply connected creatures of God’s creation. He calls us to lead simpler lives that are more authentic and less driven by consumption. Most of all, he calls us to care for the Earth and its people. As you know, we’ve been hard at work on activities to support this incredible moment.
In peace, Dan Misleh |
