Jesuit Forum

The goal of our collaboration proposal is

Catholics are always encouraged to spend time with nature and listen to God’s creation. Pope Francis reminds us that “nature is filled with words of love.” (Laudato Si’ 225)

This Laudato Si’ Week, 16-24 May, the Jesuit Forum for Social Faith and Justice in Canada is inviting Catholics to also make time to listen to each other.

Description of our collaboration proposal

The Toronto-based organization has prepared two resources that will help Catholics grow in their faith and study Laudato Si’, which calls on all people to “hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” and better care for creation.

“On care for our common home” is a nine-part guide that allows small groups the opportunity to dive deeper into the themes of Pope Francis’ world-changing encyclical.

Groups are encouraged to host a personal conversation using the guide and to spend time practicing active listening. 

“Living with limits, living well!”, the forum’s other resource, explores new ways to think about growth and the economy. The seven-session guide examines the social structures that contribute to social inequality and looks at ways we can work to reduce injustice around the world
