The Laudato Si’ Movement produces a monthly reflection, which incorporates resources and reflections on aspects of Laudato Si’ and ecological conversion.

This resource is a guide for our movement members to use collectively or individually every month. Each month this prayer guide brings reflections and testimonies from different members of our global movement to inspire you to pray, contemplate, reflect, and act for creation.

We align our monthly prayer intentions with those of the Pope, integrating a Laudato Si’ dimension to deepen our reflection and action. As part of this journey, we also look forward to Laudato Si’ Week 2025, a special time of global celebration, prayer, and commitment to ecological conversion. This month, however, our intention focuses on our gratitude for Pope Francis’ life and for the future of our Church.

May we be inspired to act with courage, love with purpose, and bring hope to our common home – one step, one prayer, one action at a time.

Full details are to be found in the Monthly Prayer Guide, which is sure to inspire you in your ongoing ecological conversion. A pdf version is also available to download here.

The God who created the universe out of nothing can also intervene in this world and overcome every form of evil. Injustice is not invincible.

Monthly Intention: In gratitude for Pope Francis’ life and legacy and in prayer for our future Pontiff

Prayer for Social Justice

Spirit of Truth
Who enfolds our world in Your Love,
we come to You with a heavy heart.
How does one begin to dismantle the evils of racism,
sexism, classism, environmental injustice and other
ism’s permeating society?
Are we complicit with the corporate sin of societal
institutions by remaining silent observers?
How can we be an instrument of peace and
radiate Your healing love?
People like Desmond Tutu, Martin Luther King, Jr.
and protestors marching on our streets denounce
systemic injustices.
We read Scripture’s injunctions–love God, love my
neighbor, pray for my enemies, even those who
persecute me.
Are we heeding these difficult teachings?
Is it enough for us to welcome strangers into our
circle of relationships, alleviate the suffering of the
Lazaruses-onmy-doorstep, and celebrate the
diversity of people and their creeds?
Grace us that we have love for all, promote justice for
all, and have mutual respect for all creation.

Amen.

Constance (Connie) Fahey, Franciscan Sisters of Mary, United States of America.
