Pope Francis named his encyclical, Laudato Si or Praise Be, after St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures to remind us that Earth “is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us.”
“Sister earth, along with all the abandoned of our world is crying out, pleading that we take another course.” (#53)
