Clamor of Pope Francis On The Alarming Situation
Clamor of Pope Francis On The Alarming Situation
Francis on the
alarming situation
of the Earth
LAUDATO SI
Saint Francis of Assisi reminds
us that our common home is
like a sister with whom we
share our life and a beautiful
mother who opens her arms to
embrace us. “Brother Sun,
Sister Moon.”
This sister now cries out to us
because of the harm we have
inflicted on her by our
irresponsible use and abuse of
the goods with which God has
endowed her.
LAUDATO SI
The urgent challenge to protect our common home
includes a concern to bring the whole human family
together to seek a sustainable and integral development,
for we know that things can change. The Creator does
not abandon us; he never forsakes his loving plan or
repents of having created us.
I urgently
appeal, then, for a new dialogue about how
we are shaping the future of our planet. We need a
conversation which includes everyone, since the
environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its
human roots, concern and affect us all.

Ganito ang ating
ninuno: pagsamba ng
tao sa araw, buwan, sa
halaman, sa kalikasan
at maging sa mga
hayop. They treat
nature with respect and
reverence.

goes beyond nature.
God is beyond
nature. Mas higit sa
Kalikasan.
Samakatuwid, nasa
kanyang Pagmamay-
ari, at nasa ating
pamamahala

ipinagkatiwala.

Mananagot tayo sa
Diyos sa mga bagay na
ipinagkatiwala sa atin.
