A New Work of Mercy: Care for Our Common Home
On September 1, 2016, Pope Francis introduced a new work of mercy: care for our
common home. If the Church has acknowledged the traditional fourteen works of mercy
for over seven hundred years, why does this generation require a new one? In his 2015

crisis: “Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last
two hundred years” (LS 53).
Catholic Climate Control Covenant
We ask for the grace that is needed so that we may all come to respect and care for God’s creation. Laudato Si’ teaches us that everything is connected. In this pandemic year, we are again reminded how true this is. Let us commit ourselves to create a more just and sustainable world together. The earth cries out, and science tells us, that we have no time to waste. Our actions are more critical now than ever.
