While awaiting the announcement of his successor, we continue to give thanks for the life, service, humility and legacy of Pope Francis.
We remain mindful of his non-wavering call to all people of good will:
– to respect Earth, our common home,
– to be people of Peace.
2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the publication Laudato Si.
During Laudato Si week (24-31 May) the Brigidine Laudato Si Task Group invites us to listen again to
A Prayer for the Earth, written by Pope Francis and published in Laudato Si’ .
Pope Francis’ Prayer for Earth.
May we go forward as pilgrims of hope, committed to the urgent plea of Laudato Si’ – to respond to the cry of Earth and the cry of the poor.
Unless the human community
and the natural community
go into the future together,
both will perish in the desert.”
– Thomas Berry
