Encountering the Mystic: Pope Francis and the Spirituality of Nature A Reflective Talk on Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum

Join us for a contemplative journey into the heart of Pope Francis’s ecological spirituality. In this talk, we will explore the Pope as a mystic of Nature, drawing insight from his groundbreaking Encyclical Laudato Si’ and his Exhortation Laudate Deum.
