Laudato Si' Week marks the fifth anniversary of the publication of Pope Francis' encyclical on caring for our common home. The week's theme is \u201cEverything is connected.\u201d<\/p>\n
FR. JOSHTROM KUREETHADAM<\/strong> The year's events will include online conferences with global experts, a Laudato Si' documentary, a musical and a number of cultural multimedia events. There is also an international drive to plant one trillion trees. Particularly significant is the multi-year plan to gradually achieve total sustainability, starting with local families, communities, and institutions.<\/p>\n The current health crisis, which has limited the week's events to online webinars, meetings and retreats, further underlines the urgency of taking action.<\/p>\n FR. JOSHTROM KUREETHADAM<\/strong> The Laudato Si' encyclical was written to address the precarious situation of the planet, which Fr. Josh explains, has only been deteriorating, even after the publication of the document.<\/p>\n FR. JOSHTROM KUREETHADAM<\/strong> Laudato Si' Week, which began May 16, will conclude with a worldwide prayer for Earth and for humanity, on May 24, at 12 p.m., Rome time. All are invited to participate. The prayer can be accessed on the Laudato Si' Week website. https:\/\/laudatosiweek.org. In any case caring for the planet is a challenge that will continue for years to come.<\/p>\n CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 22, 2020. \u201cThe challenge is precisely to gear up, to act, to speed up action, \u201d explains Fr.

\n\u201cBut as with every crisis, I always think the word 'crisis' in Greek means 'opportunity,' and in modern languages, we have forgotten that deeper meaning of a crisis\u2014crisis telling us, 'Don't go forward in this direction. There's danger. You need to stop, think and change course.' The pandemic has been telling us this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe challenge is precisely to, you know, gear up, to act, to speed up action. And our Laudato Si' Special Anniversary Year plans center precisely around this theme of acting\u2014acting together, acting in solidarity with the poor communities around the world, but also acting in partnership with so many agents, and with creativity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
