Rome (Italy).<\/strong> On 14 November 2021<\/strong>, on the occasion of the World Day of the Poor, the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development invites Religious Communities, Educational Institutions, Parishes,\u00a0 Dioceses, Health Care Centers, Workers,\u00a0 Companies, Families, Organizations, and Groups to join the Laudato Si’ Action Platform<\/a>, and to make a commitment to the planning process.<\/strong> On that date, the Laudato Si’ Planning Guides will also be published, along with the materials useful for discerning and implementing your own Action Plan.<\/p>\n

In the Letter<\/a><\/strong> in which he announces the opening of registrations, Cardinal\u00a0 Peter K.A. Turkson, Prefect of the Dicastery, expresses the aims of the initiative:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Platform intends to promote a permanent and shared path, with the aim of growing exponentially over the next few years of this crucial decade. (…) Through this project, we will have the opportunity to learn and grow together, as well as take decisive actions aimed at building a better future in the spirit of Laudato Si'”.<\/em><\/p>\n

This phase is part of a process promoted during the Laudato Si’ Year that began on 24 May\u00a0 2020<\/strong> , on the fifth anniversary of the Encyclical Letter,\u00a0 which included the development of the Laudato Si’ Initiative Platform.<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of the anniversary year, 25 May 2021<\/strong>, with a Video message<\/a><\/strong>, Pope Francis announced the Laudato si’\u00a0 Action Platform<\/strong>, “a seven-year journey that will involve our communities in different ways, so that they become totally sustainable, in the spirit of integral ecology.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The journey is inspired by the vision of integral ecology proposed by the Encyclical and is guided by the seven Laudato Si’ Goals: response to the cry of the Earth, response to the cry of the poor, ecological economy, adoption of a simple lifestyle, ecological education, ecological spirituality, and community commitment with participatory action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians<\/strong> will participate in the initiative sending to Cardinal Turkson on 14 November 2021, a letter of commitment and the adhesion of the Provinces, Communities, Educational Institutions, Groups, and organizations of the FMA, which\u00a0 carried out the registration on the Laudato Si’ Initiative Platform.<\/p>\n
