Laudato Si' Movement

• Preparing for Lent - February Prayer Guide: Lent invites us into a sacred journey of return — to God, to our faith, and to care for our common home — calling us to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover what truly sustains life. This month’s prayer guide invites the Laudato Si’ family into contemplation as an act of hope, nurturing inner silence that renews our commitment to compassionate action for the Earth and one another.
