Pope Leo XIV has been supportive from the start in continuing to respond to the needs of the vulnerable very evident in our Common Home. He supports Pope Francis legacy which is the encyclical Laudatory Si'. The hopes of this encyclical are put into actions through through Laudatory Si' Movement, Laudatory Si' Animators, and Laudatory Si' Action Platform. Our Common Home can only be healed by our commitment to slow down the consumption and production and changing our lifestyle. Business As Usual is no longer the case in order to have a sustainable future. What we need is to support each other in having a conscientious living and not about an unrealistic unlimited consumption and production which is a model of the capitalist economy.
Pope Leo XIV, in his message for the Lent, is asking us to listen to the liturgy and connect it with the reality, fast on pride and live in humility and faith, and finally to work together, being in dialogue, in solidarity with the vulnerable and collaborating with each other within the community that upholds justice and reconciliation.
There are visions that can give us hope and goals to achieve for our Common Home through our associations and network who with the global platforms such as Laudatory Si' Action Platform, a Catholic medium of envisioning and taking actions toward sustainable Common Home. There are other organizations such as Green Faith and Climate Reality project committed to the United Nations through COP to meet the net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
