As we mark the close of the special Laudato Si’ anniversary year and prepare for the launching of the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, we honor the great progress made by the global Church in our journey towards ecological conversion and prepare for the next decade of action to care for all God’s creation. Throughout the ten days of prayer, learning and action, we invite you to reflect on the following: What can I do to make sure that our common home remains a place that respects the dignity and interconnectedness of all created life?
PRAY
In
Laudato Si', Pope Francis invites us to reflect on our relationship with God, creation, and one another. As we continue
Laudato Si’ Week, use this
Ecological Examen to reflect on your relationship with creation, to acknowledge and amend your ways, and to promote ecological justice by standing in solidarity with those most impacted by environmental harm.

listen to how “God calls us to live in greater harmony with all creation.”
