Laudato Si - The cry of the earth and the cry of the poor are one and the same. Our faith calls us to a unified response: to protect our common home for the well-being of all. True ecological conversion requires us to address the climate crisis equitably, halt biodiversity loss, and commit to long-term ecological sustainability. Let us pray and act together to restore what is broken, starting with our own daily choices.
