Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Laudato Si
As we mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si on May 24, Pope Francis' groundbreaking encyclical on the environment, Churches of the Home around the world are invited to reflect on its profound message. Laudato Si calls us to care for our common home, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all creation and the urgent need for ecological conversion. This anniversary is a time to celebrate the progress made in environmental stewardship and renew our commitment to sustainable living.
Churches of the Home can celebrate this milestone by engaging in activities that honor the spirit of Laudato Si. Consider organizing community clean-up events, planting trees, or starting a garden to promote biodiversity. Families can also participate in educational workshops to learn more about environmental issues and sustainable practices. By taking these actions, we not only honor the teachings of Laudato Si but also contribute to the well-being of our planet and future generations.
Moreover, this anniversary is an opportunity for Churches of the Home to deepen their spiritual connection to creation. Incorporate prayers and reflections on the environment into daily routines, and discuss the importance of caring for God's creation with children. By fostering a sense of responsibility and gratitude for the natural world, we can live out the principles of Laudato Si in meaningful ways, creating a legacy of environmental stewardship and spiritual growth.
Join us for Mass this weekend in person at 8:00 on Saturday, 8:30 or 10:30 on Sunday, on www.gbres.org/live, our YouTube channel, and our Facebook page.
READINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S MASSES
VIRTUALLY SUNDAY REFLECTION
Passive or active? Is our morality focused on the easy path of reciting the commandments or on the transformative way of life, centered on love and compassion. An active morality of loving one another can be challenging, particularly in a world influenced by social media and societal divisions. But by allowing Christ's love to flow through us into the world, we are living the way of life we are called to live as disciples. Join Steve as he reflects on this weekend's scripture.
