Immersing ourselves with nature and engaging ourselves with the Indigenous people, made me more see the interconnectedness we have with God’s creation and our shared responsibility to preserve it.
The pontiff encouraged the human family to “advance with young people towards lifestyles that are simpler and more respectful of the environment.”
It made me feel the abundance that nature can generate if only we can cooperate with its own dynamics and learn to dance to its tune. It is creation at work on its own.
“When we do not recognize the gifts that we have received, we fail to be responsible stewards,” said the prelate.
This is the call to each of us to be responsible stewards of creation.
We hope that this Season of Creation renews our baptismal call to care and sustain this ecological turning so that life may flourish, and all creatures may find their place to flourish in our common home.
