Wisdom from Pope Francis

 
 
 

The acceptance of our bodies as God’s gift is vital for welcoming and accepting the entire world as a gift from the Father and our common home, whereas thinking that we enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often subtly, into thinking that we enjoy absolute power over creation. Learning to accept our body, to care for it and to respect its fullest meaning, is an essential element of any genuine human ecology.

—Pope Francis

from his encyclical Laudato Si’

STEWARDS OF OUR HOME

A gift from God and the common home of humanity, the earth is threatened by man’s abuse of his freedom. In his encyclical Praise Be to You (Laudato Si’), Pope Francis challenges all people to praise and thank God for his glorious creation and to work together to safeguard her.
