Laudato Si

23/2/2021

0 Comments

 
8. Patriarch Bartholomew has spoken in particular of the need for each of us to repent of the ways we have harmed the planet, for “inasmuch as we all generate small ecological damage”, we are called to acknowledge “our contribution, smaller or greater, to the disfigurement and destruction of creation”. He has repeatedly stated this firmly and persuasively, challenging us to acknowledge our sins against creation: “For human beings… to destroy the biological diversity of God’s creation; for human beings to degrade the integrity of the earth by causing changes in its climate, by stripping the earth of its natural forests or destroying its wetlands; for human beings to contaminate the earth’s waters, its land, its air, and its life – these are sins”. For “to commit a crime against the natural world is a sin against ourselves and a sin against God”.

    During Lent 2021 and in preparation for COP26 we will be praying daily for our leaders of the world who will attend the climate conference COP26 in November being held in Glasgow.

    ​Text in bold and italic indicates the section tweeted through our twitter account every morning during Lent 21.

    Please feel free to add comments, prayers or perhaps some scripture relating to the exert from Laudato Si

    ​Each Sunday during Lent 2021 at the end of the post there will be a short reflective question, please feel free to submit comments, thoughts, prayers.
