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 various

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By tradition, papal encyclicals (circular letters) are
usually written in Latin and the title of the encyclical is usually taken from
its first few words. So when Laudato Si’ was released nearly 5 years ago in
2015, many assumed that the opening phrase:
“Laudato Si’, mi’ Signore” was Latin, translated as “Praise be to you
Lord”. However, the phrase “Laudato Si’,
mi’ Signore” is actually a phrase in an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canticle_of_the_Sun" target="_blank">Italian dialect (Umbiran)</a> used in the
13th century by Saint Francis in his "Canticle of the Sun".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
