“Laudato Si” “On Care of Our Common Home”
Over the past few months Pope Francis’ revolutionary encyclical of 2015 which called for a “broad cultural revolution” to confront the environmental crisis has received new interest as we confront the issue of climate change. Over the next 10 weeks I will offer some “takeaways” of this encyclical from James Martin, SJ.
4) Catholic social teaching now includes teaching on the environment.
Against those who argue that a papal encyclical on the
environment has no real authority, Pope Francis
explicitly states that “Laudato Si” "is now added to the
body of the Church’s social teaching" (No. 15). By the
way, an encyclical is a type of teaching that enjoys the
highest level of authority in the church, second only to
the Gospels and church councils like Vatican II. As such,
it continues the kind of reflection on modern-day
problems that began with Leo XIII’s “Rerum
Novarum,” on capital and labor, in 1891. Pope Francis
uses some of the traditional foundations of Catholic
Social Teaching, particularly the idea of the “common
good,” to frame his discussion. In keeping with the
practices of Catholic social teaching, the pope combines
the riches of the church’s theology with the findings of
experts in a variety of fields, to reflect on modern-day
problems. To that end, he explicitly links St. John
XXIII’s “Pacem in Terris,” which addressed the crisis of
nuclear war, with “Laudato Si,” which addresses this
newer crisis.
The Sacrament of the Sick will be offered
next weekend after all the Masses. If
you wish to be anointed, please sit in the
front pew after Mass.
Eucharistic Adoration is held on
the First Saturday of each month
from 12:00pm—1:00 pm Come
and spend an hour with the
Lord. Adoration will be
Saturday, August 3rd at noon.

“My spirit was broken and as far as I knew beyond repair. I was living a decision that I will regret for the rest of my life. I was haunted by the choice and consumed with feelings of remorse. During the retreat, I realized the lasting impact of forgiveness. I knew God had forgiven me, and now I needed to forgive myself.” A Project Rachel Retreat Participant.

St. Gregory’s Social and Racial Justice Committee
Beginning Thursday, August 8 at 7 PM-8:30 PM, St. Gregory's Church Social and Racial Justice Committee will be sponsoring a Laudato Si Encyclical Prayer and Study Circle. We will meet every two weeks, meeting seven times into the "Season of Creation" to pray , reflect, and understand Pope Francis' Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality. On Care for Our Common Home, we hope to discuss how climate change and inequality effect ourselves, our community and our common home. We are open to all parishioners from St. Gregory's and all other parishes to join us. Copies of Laudato Si are online at Learn about Laudato Si’ - The Global Catholic Climate Movement. For more information contact Craig Simpson [email protected] . We will meet in the downstairs room in the back basement of the church.
Who is Jesus to me?
“Jesus is the hungry...to be fed. Jesus is the thirsty...to be
satiated. Jesus is the naked...to be clothed. Jesus is the
homeless...to be taken in. Jesus is the sick...to be healed.
Jesus is the lonely...to be loved.”
St. Teresa of Calcutta
