"Laudato Si': Praised be My Lord"Taught by Sister Marian Sturm, OVISS
In 2015, Pope Francis, supported by global scientific data, published the letter entitled: Laudato Si’. In it he speaks of his concern for our common home, the world, through the Franciscan spirituality of creation. This spirituality shows the interconnection of the physical, social, economic, political, and moral aspects of our lives, demonstrating the bond between nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and our interior peace. Principles of how to live in the world, calling for care and responsibility of our common home, for community, and for justice are given. Come, discover, and discuss what is at stake through all these aspects of our lives. “Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life” (#148, Laudato Si’
The presenter, Sister Marian Sturm, OVISS, a Sister of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament has researched this letter, along with the scientific realities occurring today. She has a BA in biology and math, an MA in theology and catechetics, studied scripture and is a spiritual director.
