ENCYCLICALS AND APOSTOLIC EXHORTATIONS
Magnifica Humanitas is a call to rediscover and live the fullness of our humanity as persons created in God’s image—dignified, compassionate, responsible, and open to communion with others.
Fratelli Tutti means “All Brothers”—Pope Francis’ encyclical on fraternity, social friendship, human dignity, dialogue, peace, and the call to build a world where no one is treated as a stranger.
Dilexi te is Latin for “I have loved you”—a phrase that expresses God’s prior, personal, and faithful love as the foundation of our dignity, vocation, and mission.
Laudato Si’ means “Praise be to you”—Pope Francis’ encyclical calling us to care for our common home, protect creation, and hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
Dilexit nos is Latin for “He loved us”—referring to Christ who has loved us first, with a heart that is personal, merciful, and faithful.
Lumen Fidei means “The Light of Faith”—Pope Francis’ encyclical on faith as the light that guides human life, deepens our encounter with God, and helps us see the world with hope, truth, and love.
