Bishop Mark - 'Our Common Home and Care for the Vulnerable'

Bishop Mark reflects on the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis' letter 'Laudato Si

Featuring the staff, residents, relatives and Sisters of Nazareth House Plymouth

Bishop Mark

Bishop Mark reminds all that May is the month of Mary, and a time to thank God for the beauty of His Creation

"Let us be like Christ the Servant"

In a reflection marking the 5th Anniversary of Laudato Si (Praise be to you) - Pope Francis’ Encyclical letter on the earth, which he calls, “our common home” - Bishop Mark O’Toole, the Bishop of Plymouth, has reminded Catholics, that May is a month when we remember Mary’s important role in creation and is a time, too, for recalling the beauty of that creation.

The Pope, Bishop Mark reminded everyone, links the “care of our common home” with the need to care for “those who are already poor and vulnerable”. “The Pope constantly links these two realities” the Bishop suggested, showing “the need to protect and respect our Common home and the need to respect and protect the dignity and lives of the poor.”
