Seven years ago, Pope Francis addressed all of Earth’s people in his ground-breaking encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home.

Laudato Si’ calls us to an ecological conversion that encompasses individual, communal, and societal transformation rooted in a spirit of gratitude, generosity, care, and tenderness.

In this OpenSpace, we explore a variety of initiatives and practices that might stimulate your own reflections on how to care for our common home. If you are part of an organization, community, parish, or workplace, these examples might also inspire you to formulate a Laudato Si Action Plan to live out ecological conversion with others.

As you read, we invite you to reflect on what resonates with you: Where do you feel called to ecological conversion? What kinds of actions are you inspired to undertake to care for our common home, our beloved Earth?
