Love:
Love is not just a feeling. Love is a choice we make to put the good of another before our own needs and desires.
LAUDATO SI’ WEEK
This week we celebrate Laudato Si’ week. The words Laudato Si’ are Italian and mean “praise be to you”. They are a part of a quotation from St Francis of Assisi’s “Canticle of the Creatures' where the saint praises God by meditating on the goodness of the sun, wind, earth, water and other natural forces. Laudato Si’ is a reminder of how people should not only respect the Earth but also praise and honour God through their engagement with creation.Laudato Si' is an encyclical of Pope Francis published in May 2015. It focuses on care for the natural environment and all people, as well as broader questions of the relationship between God, humans, and the Earth. The encyclical's subtitle, “Care for Our Common Home,” reinforces these key themes. Pope Francis has called for us to care for the planet.
We will come together for a liturgy at 9.30am on Monday 16th. All are welcome.
