Laudato si'—Pope Francis' Encyclical on the Environment

I have just started reading Pope Francis' new encyclical, Laudato si' which can be found at  http://www.papalencyclicals.net/.

The title reflects St Francis' Canticle to the Sun, and he is invoked as the patron of all environmental efforts. I've only read the introduction and part of the first chapter—evidently it is 200 pages in print—but this will be my sole reading for the next few days. So far it brims over with light and truth, and I highly recommend it to all my readers.

I apologise once more for the sparse number of posts in the last few months, but I have been very unwell and have had very little energy. Thankfully I'm now on the mend. Thank you for your prayers
