REFLECTIONS ON CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME
From Laudato Si
|
|
Our common home is in dire peril from climate change, overproduction and overconsumption, growing poverty and injustice, as well as from a cultural and spiritual mindset that focuses on individuals and individual well-being at the expense of God’s creation as a whole. In Laudato Si, his encyclical on the care for our common home, Pope Francis calls on us not only to take action to preserve the glory of God’s creation and to respect the dignity of all humankind, but also to redefine our relationship to God’s creation.
After completing our study of Laudato Si, the members of the class (Carmen Collins, Connie Du Puis, and Ron Petrusha) have decided to respond to the Holy Father’s call through a weekly column in the parish bulletin. Each week, we’ll alternate between sharing practical steps that we can take to preserve our common home and briefly reflecting on theological, spiritual, or scientific themes that can contribute to changing the way we regard God’s creation. Next week, we’ll briefly discuss St. Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures. We hope that you’ll enjoy these columns, and we welcome your feedback. If you are interested in preparing these weekly columns with us, we’d love for you to join us!

LOOKING IN & STEPPING OUT
Discerning God's Desires for Us and the World
Saturday, May 9 from 9:30am - 12:00pm via Zoom
|
|
During this Spring and Easter Season, we seem to be at an inflection point as we slowly emerge from the pandemic. As our country begins to open, our spirits too may be opening to the many choices that lie before us.
Join Fr. Matthew Pyrc, SJ (Parochial Vicar, St. Joseph Parish), Patty Repikoff (Senior Advisor for Special Projects, Catholic Community Services) and others for this morning of prayer and reflection to give us tools to look inside ourselves more deeply, discerning God's desires for us and the planet as we "step back out" into the world.
