Laudato Si’ Week

16th - 24th May 2022

Laudato Si’ Week, which will run this year from 16 to 24 May 2022, is a global celebration where we remember Pope Francis’ encouragement in his encyclical Laudato Si’ to hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor, and to humbly place ourselves in communion with our common home.

A Prayer for our Earth

All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe

and in the smallest of your creatures.

You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.

Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty.

Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one.

O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth,

so precious in your eyes.

Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it,

that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.

Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain at the expense of the poor and the earth.

Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe and contemplation,

to recognize that we are profoundly united with every creature

as we journey towards your infinite light.

We thank you for being with us each day.

Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle for justice, love and peace.

AMEN  

Pope Francis Laudato Si’
