"Let us contemplate together our mother the Earth, our common home."
Laudato Si' (Praise be to you, my Lord) is the second encyclical of Pope Francis.

Laudato Si', the second encyclical of Pope Francis, dedicated to "the safeguarding of the common house", has had a very broad echo in the five years that separate us from its publication on May 24, 2015. The call of Pope Francis to build a new world, respectful of creation, has led to many initiatives within the Church, beginning in parishes, but has also aroused interest far beyond, in the scientific and academic spheres, in non-believing circles and in other religions.
