| As we move into the New Year, are we the same old people or are we really open to undertaking changes that can make a difference in our world? In his encyclical Laudato Si, Pope Francis states, "Many things have to change course, but it is we |  |
human beings above all who need change" (202). He also states: "The issue of environmental degradation challenges us to examine our lifestyle" (206).
The call here is for us to make real changes in how we live, no matter how small. We have grown in awareness and have taken steps personally and communally but can we go deeper.
What changes can you still make....eliminating single use plastic water bottles, eliminating styrofoam, recycling, using greener cleaning products, adjusting food habits, spreading the word about the need to care for the earth, engaging in political advocacy...
Consider our Franciscan call to live in relationship with all of creation.
