Journeying Towards Care for our Common Home, Five Years After Laudato Si’»»
Celebration of the Fifth Anniversary of the Encyclical Laudato Si’
“The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change… It is my hope that this Encyclical Letter… can help us to acknowledge the appeal, immensity and urgency of the challenge we face”.
POPE FRANCIS, Laudato Si’, 13, 15
The present text is being published on 31 May 2020, the Solemnity of Pentecost, the liturgical feast on which, five years earlier, on 24 May 2015, the En-cyclical Letter Laudato Si’ of the Holy Father Pope Francis on care for our common home was published.
The present document was prepared by institutions belonging to the Interdicasterial Working Group of the Holy See on Integral Ecology, established in 2015 for the promotion and implementation of integral ecology. The Working Group brings together the institutions associated with the Holy See that are most involved in this area, as well as several Episcopal Conferences and Catholic organizations which contributed significantly to the preparation of the present text.
