Pope Francis
Diverse Yet United: Communicating Truth in Charity
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to dialogue and encounter. We are expected to be welcoming and open to all people, including those who think differently from us or who hold conflicting opinions. We are also called to share the Truth, which is God's love for us in Jesus Christ.
"[Jesus] asks us not to fix our gaze on what divides us, but rather on what unites us, seeking to know and love Jesus better and to share the richness of his love," Pope Francis writes in Diverse yet United: Communicating Truth in Charity.
Jesus' love spurs us to dialogue, helping us to listen to one another and to get to know others. His love becomes the foundation of human solidarity and renders us capable of overcoming the barriers of our own weaknesses and prejudices. Jesus' love within us creates bridges, teaches new paths, and triggers the dynamism of fraternity.
Pope Francis invites us to communicate the Lord's merciful love to the whole world: "We too are given the gift of the 'tongue' of the Gospel and the 'fire' of the Holy Spirit, so that as we proclaim the risen Jesus, alive and present among us, we may warm our hearts and the hearts of peoples, bringing them closer to him, the way, the truth, and the life."

Laudato Si' and Laudate Deum
In this combined edition of the full texts of Laudato Si' and Laudate Deum, Pope Francis draws all Christians into a dialogue with every person on the planet about our common home. As human beings we are united by concern for our planet and every living thing that dwells on it, especially the poorest and most vulnerable.
Pope Francis' second encyclical, Laudato Si' On Care for Our Common Home, joins the body of the Church's social and moral teachings and draws on the best scientific research in calling for an "integrated ecology" between humanity and nature.
In his apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum ("Praise God"), Pope Francis expounds upon the theme of human ecology presented in Laudato Si' and the idea that humans and the environment are inextricably intertwined. This follow-up to Laudato Si' looks at what has happened since the encyclical was released and what still needs to be done.
This edition includes discussion questions, making it perfect for individual or group study.
