In a letter to mark the 10th anniversary of the late Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si', U.S. bishops have urged young people to "lead the way" on the climate crisis. bit.ly/3SLThKS

The Lexington Diocese's implementation of Laudato Si' is "one of the most comprehensive and inspiring examples of ecclesial commitment to integral ecology," said Alonso de Llanes of the Laudato Si' Action Platform. bit.ly/4mtRwj9

This month, Pope Francis' landmark encyclical on ecology, "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home," turned 10. To mark the occasion, EarthBeat and NCR are revisiting our coverage from the past decade with a series of "Laudato Si' 10 for 10" lists. bit.ly/3SUcHx9

Initiative Director @KDaniels8 says Pope Leo’s election is “an extraordinary gift” to the life of the American church” @nytimes @publicroad

Kim Daniels @KDaniels8 on @NewsHour: The quick election of Pope Leo XIV is a sign of the cardinals’ priorities, and that is to “continue Pope Francis’ vision of spiritual renewal and structural reform. Pope Leo is someone who has the skills, the experience, the heart, to be able to implement those processes, those reforms, but also this heart for mercy and accompanying the poor and going out and not inward, but going outward. That really was at the heart of Pope Francis’ vision.”

Earlier this week, to mark #earthday, OPA helped plan and deliver a multi-faith event on Capitol Hill which celebrated our shared earth and the need to work for its health. Speaking on behalf of our office, Ian Hamilton shared some brief thoughts on the role of self interest in causing the climate crisis as well as the need for harmony in addressing the world’s ills.

When a pope had the audacity to name himself after St. Francis — a man of peace, simplicity and creation — I began to dream then of an environmental encyclical. bit.ly/3S3DKFT

The US intelligence community used to call the climate crisis a "threat multiplier." Now, it’s vanished from official threat assessments. You can erase “climate crisis” from a memo - but that won’t erase the threat or stop it from reshaping the world. bit.ly/4hWoJ35

🌸 Native Plant: Purple Trillium (Trillium erectum)
Now blooming in the quiet woods of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha’s homeland.
With its three petals and rich color, purple trillium has long been seen as a symbol of the Holy Trinity and the beauty of God’s hidden works. Native to the forests of the eastern USA and Canada—including those of the Saint Kateri National Shrine and Historic Site—it’s a sacred spring flower that Kateri would have known and admired.
🌿 Indigenous communities, including the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) people, use trillium in traditional medicine. Trillium reminds us to walk gently, heal what’s been broken, and honor the sacredness of creation.
🌱 A wonderful addition to a Saint Kateri Habitat—or a woodland Mary Garden dedicated to humility, healing, and hidden beauty. See them at the @KateriShrine!

🌱 Not every post goes viral. Not every word is seen.
But if you’re sharing truth, beauty, and faith—you’re sowing seeds.
Seeds don’t shout. They take root in silence.
They bloom slowly, often unseen.
But one day, they give fruit.
If your work honors God, uplifts creation, and speaks with love—keep going.
You are building the quiet kingdom. And that kind of work is never wasted. 🌾✨
