On June 18, 2015, Pope Francis released an encyclical on ecology entitled, "Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home." Prior to the public release, the Holy Father sent the encyclical to all Bishops around the world with a handwritten note, seen below.
The note reads:
JHS
The Vatican, 16 June 2015

United in the Lord, and please do not forget to pray for me.
