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. This month’s edition was prepared by Steeven Kezamutima from Kenya, Sr Loredana Dalla Libera from the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the support of Suzana Moreira, from Brazil, and the strategic work by Guada García Corigliano from Argentina, design work by Marco Vargas from Ecuador, as well as work from others of the Communications team spread across the Americas and translators spread across the world.

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.

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 (Earth Charter)

LS 207

Everything sings greatness

Praise and thanks be to You,
Creator of the universe
For the beauty and variety You have given us.
As seasons change,
the colors of the woods, countryside and meadows
also change continuously
and bring joy to our eyes,
along with new scents even for those who cannot see.
How marvelous the perfect mechanism that
You thought of,
one of an orderly and joyful coexistence,
and with so much responsibility
for the beings You created in Your own image and likeness!
The scent of the flowers, the majesty of the trees,
the song of the birds, the spectacle of the mushrooms
make of Your woods stupendous cathedrals,
where we celebrate in joy
the memorial of creation and our covenant as brothers and sisters.
From the heights of the snowy peaks
and from the depths of the abysses of the cerulean seas
everything sings the greatness of God our Creator.
Laudato Si’, our Lord!

Amen.

(by Giovanni Zanaboni, from the LSM Prayer Book)
