Laudato Si’ uses flowers as a metaphor for the b

Laudato Si’ uses flowers as a metaphor for the beauty and inherent value of all creation, which is central to the encyclical’s message of integral ecology. It frames environmental protection as a moral and spiritual duty, connecting the loss of biodiversity, like forests, to the loss of future resources for food and medicine. Caring for flowers, forests, and all of nature is presented in Laudato Si as an act of reverence for the Creator and a crucial component of social justice.

Flowers and the value of creation likewise the “Canticle of the Creatures” which takes its title from Saint Francis of Assisi’s poem, which praises God through the beauty of creation, including the sun, moon, and stars, but also the flowers and “Sister Mother Earth”. All these are values worth upholding hear what Laudato Youth Judith is sharing with us. @borgolaudatosi.en @borgolaudatosi @lsap_eng @seasonofcreation @alessandrasmerilli

We join our Laudato Si’ Club of Holy Cross Lake

We join our Laudato Si’ Club of Holy Cross Lake View S.S.S, together with the wider community of Jinja Diocese, in mourning the passing of our beloved Rt Rev Bishop Charles Wamika.

Bishop Wamika was not only a good shepherd but also a strong advocate for the care of our common home. Through his leadership and support, the Diocese consistently stood with us in promoting the message of Laudato Si’, encouraging young people to take an active role in environmental stewardship rooted in faith. #laudatosigreenfestival #JinjaDiocese #RestinPeaceBishopWamika

Its Half a year without #Pope Francis: He left the Church with a message of peace and a gift of the encyclical Laudato Si. Encouraging us to praise God. The 21st April felt like a day no one expected to turn out like what it became. This is how it felt in the #Vatican 🔙

➡️Many of us were visibly shocked. Just the day before, Pope Francis had delivered the traditional Urbi et Orbi blessing following the Easter Mass and made his customary tour in the Popemobile

On 21 April 2025 (Easter Monday), at 07:35 CEST (UTC+2), Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Camerlengo, in a broadcast by Vatican Media announced that Pope Francis has gone to the Lord at the age of 88 at Domus Sanctae Marthae in Vatican City.

Continue Resting in Pope Francis we shall keep praying for you and striving to keep your ecological Legacy and #prayerforpeace

A value is shared. The Laudato Si Club of Divine Mercy S.S.S. visited their sister school, Divine Mercy Nursery & Primary School, to share the urgent message of Caring for Our Common Home. They held an interactive session with the pupils, discussing:

* Reasons why young people must lead in environmental conservation
♻️ Simple ways to care for the environment
🚫 Harmful human activities to avoid
🏡 Eco-friendly practices to do at home
🌳 Tree species that help protect the ozone layer etc..

They concluded their visit by planting a memorial tree and donating various tree seedlings to beautify the school environment. This is true of the phrase “Everyone’s efforts are needed” from Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si #laudatoyouthinitiative #laudatosi

“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s

“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience.” — Laudato Si’, 217

Friends we are invited to actively live out our faith unity, and care for Gods creation, making our lives a witness not only in word or prayer, but in both leading to concrete action.

Saint Francis of Assisi, in the fulfillment of his

Saint Francis of Assisi, in the fulfillment of his evangelical life, confirmed by the gift of the stigmata, composed the Canticle of the Creatures, the eighth centenary of which we have just celebrated. It is the culmination of his journey of conversion and conformity to the Poor and Crucified Christ, where his gaze on the universe, now almost extinguished by illness and the trials of life, recalls for us that vision of 19 hope in which the world is something more than a problem to be solved; it is a joyful mystery that we contemplate in joy and praise. (Laudato si, 12).

In rediscovering this text we are urged to be grateful for the unpayable debt of love we owe to God and to the world: today more than ever we are called to restore hope, to sing it again and again in praise of God and for the joy of our brothers and sisters.

Young people committed to building a climate resil

Young people committed to building a climate resilience world. They understand that climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is a moral one. It calls us to work together, united across faiths and backgrounds, to protect our common home, which we all inherit. This truth is lived out powerfully in Nandere, and our Laudato Si Club at Wakatayi Primary School @bethanylandinstitute where youth are taking action and leading by example.

The launch of the Laudato Si’ Club at Wakatayi with @bethanylandinstitute was more than symbolic, it’s a living example of what interfaith action for ecological justice looks like:

Students will engage in activities such as tree planting, school clean-ups, water conservation, and environmental education.

Faith leaders from both Muslim and Christian communities have come together to bless the initiative, showing that care for creation transcends religious boundaries.
