“It is my hope that this Encyclical
Letter, which is now added to the body of the Church’s
social teaching, can help us to acknowledge the appeal, immensity and
urgency of the challenge we face.” (LS, 15)
We are
now in Laudato Si Week! At the one year
anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical for the care of our common home, we as
the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word though our
Office of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation join the celebration on the
one year anniversary of Laudato Si by hosting a series of Workshops on
Sustainability in various cities in the countries in which we are present.
We
invite you to bring into your personal, communal, or family prayers, so that
more people join this effort, by asking the question “What does Laudato Si
inspire me to do?” Sharing these
responses will help to continue strengthen our response to the cry of the
earth.
The Sustainability Workshops have
already begun. We are grateful to the
Sisters, Associates, and Collaborators that have already participated in St.
Louis, MO and Lima, Peru. Thank you
always for your presence and for taking this message of care of creation into
your daily lives.
Remember that you can still
participate in the Sustainability Workshops provided for the CCVI family
including: Sisters, Associates, Missionaries, and Collaborators. Join a workshop and add your voice to helping
us decide on a Congregational Action for the Care of Creation!
