THE LAUDATO SI’ GOALS－INTRODUCTION

Overview of Laudato Si’ Goals and Actions

Laudato Si’ Plans help your institution, community, or family discern and implement your response to Laudato Si’.

The ecological crisis is “a summons to profound interior conversion,” a reexamining of our relationships with the Creator, with creation, and with our sisters and brothers. (LS 217) This conversion process is one that unfolds over months and even years, as the Holy Spirit calls us to an ever deeper richness of spirit.

In our response to that conversion, we realize that “living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue.” (LS 216). Action is needed.

The Laudato Si’ Goals guide our actions. They redefine and rebuild our relationship with each other and our common home. Their holistic approach acknowledges the planetary limits of all socio-economic systems and the human roots of the ecological crisis. They call for a spiritual and cultural revolution to realise integral ecology.
