Sean BalaI am deeply saddened by Pope Francis' passing. Reading his environmental encyclical "Laudato Si'" was a life-changing experience for me.

Worth a read if you have never picked it up (link below).Rest in peace, Papa Francisco 🙏1/2<a href="https://mas.to/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PopeFrancis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PopeFrancis</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CreationCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CreationCare</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ecology</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Catholic</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/LaudatoSi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaudatoSi</a>
