Papal Notes - The Gospel of Assisi

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that

called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Galatians 1:6

"Here we can think back on the call that Francis of Assisi received from the Lord in the little church of San Damiano: “Go and repair

my house, which, as you can see, lies in ruins”. Today, the ‘common home’ of our planet also needs urgently to be repaired and secured for a sustainable future.
Pope Francis stressed this at the opening of the International Conference Saving our Common Home and the Future of Life on Earth, held on the third anniversary of the Holy Father Francis’ Encyclical Laudato si’, in the Vatican’s New Synod Hall from July 5-6, 2018, noting there is a real danger that we will leave future generations only rubble, deserts and refuse.
He expressed his hope “that concern for the state of our common

home will translate into systematic and concerted efforts aimed at an integral ecology.”
“May Saint Francis of Assisi,” the Holy Father prayed, “continue to inspire and guide us on this journey, and may our struggles and our concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope.”
