ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCISON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME31. LAUDATO si , mi Signore Praise be to you, my Lord . In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces vari-ous fruit with coloured flowers and herbs .12. This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irre-sponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.
