—Pope Francis

This appeal from Pope Francis to all who inhabit this planet states that humans have made "irresponsible use" of the Earth, that climate change affects most people living in poverty, and that we must unite to protect the planet. Ultimately, Pope Francis challenges all people to praise and thank God for his glorious creation and to work together to safeguard her. Laudato Si' will make an impact politically as well as upon the major environmental and economic debates of our time.

This brief book, excerpted from the papal exhortation Amoris Laetitia, distills for those about to be married or just marrieds, the essence of the value of a lifelong union and the beauty of the vocation to marriage. In addition, Pope Francis speaks of the reality of family and of children, who are a living reflection of the couple's love, a permanent sign of their conjugal unity, and a living and inseparable synthesis of their being a father and a mother.
