ย  Dear Friends, As we approach the season of Lent, several new Orbis titles invite us on a journey of conversionโ€”or at least a fresh examination of traditional beliefs and engrained narratives. In Come, Have Breakfast: Meditations on God and the Earth, Elizabeth Johnson, one of the foremost Catholic theologians today, continues her project of examining Christian faith in relation to the natural world, the earth, and the threats posed by climate change. In each of these luminous meditations, most inspired by the Psalms and other scriptural texts, she offers a snapshot of Godโ€™s care for Creationโ€”a planet in perilโ€”with...

Laudate Deum - Available Now!

In his historic encyclical of 2015,ย Laudato Siโ€™: On Care for Our Common Home,ย Pope Francis firmly established ecological concerns as central to the agenda of Catholic Social Teaching. Along with a spiritual framework on care for creation, he outlined issues of climate change, biodiversity, the peril facing our oceans, access to fresh water, and sustainable food, and offered a comprehensive guide to integral ecology.ย  ย Eight years later comes a shorter but even more urgent call in the form of this new apostolic exhortation,ย Laudate Deum,ย which focuses specifically on the โ€œclimate crisisโ€ of our time.
