John - Emphasizing the moral obligation for Christians to care for our common home will certainly be a part of Pope Francis' legacy.
John,
As Pope Leo XIV begins sketching out what his papacy might bring, we look back at what will certainly be part of Pope Francis' legacy: emphasizing the moral obligation of all Christians and people of goodwill to care for our common home. That message was made explicitly clear 10 years ago, upon the publication of his encyclical Laudato Si'.
From May 24 to May 31, we unite with people around the world to celebrate Laudato Si' Week. Join our Laudato Si' Week campaign to receive short text messages with quotes from the document, moments of prayer, and ways to live Laudato Si’ in your daily life.
