Read Pope Francis’ Letter on Care for Creation: Laudato Si’

What is the purpose of our life in this world?

Why are we here?

What is the goal of our work and all our efforts?

What need does the earth have of us?

It is no longer enough, then, simply to state that we should be concerned for future generations. We need to see that what is at stake is our own dignity. Leaving an inhabitable planet to future generations is, first and foremost, up to us. The issue is one which dramatically affects us, for it has to do with the ultimate meaning of our earthly sojourn.

from Pope Francis, Laudato Si #160.
