Laudato Si’ Week 16-24 May 2022

“The signs of the times are clear – we know that we human beings need a change of heart, mind, and behaviour.” Australian Bishops Social Justice Statement 2021-22.

Laudato Si’ Week (16-24 May) is a celebration of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ and a call to action for Catholics around the world to care for our common home. You can participate through prayer, action, and reflection.

Loving God,

your mercy towers to the heavens and your faithfulness to the skies.

May your love temper our desire for more.

May your love shape lifestyles that lead to life for all.

May your love guide our steps towards sustainability.

May your love be enough.

We make this prayer in the name of Jesus, our risen Lord,

through the power of the Holy Spirit,

now and forever.

Amen
