Shifting Consciousness - waking from oblivion

Our Federation Ecology Committee has been reading this book and discussing it at their meetings. The book is advertised as addressing how North Americans can come to terms with the clash between Indigenous and settler cultures, faiths, and attitudes toward creation? As one Sister confided: this book helps me face uncomfortable truths. Is this not part of our CSJ charism of unity and reconciliation? Awakening to the Way, the Truth and the Life in our everyday world, is Jesus’ call. Come now awaken us, O Spirit of God.

A week of Prayer for our Oceans

Pope Francis reminds us in Laudato Si’ of the challenge given us in the Earth Charter which followed the Earth Summit in Rio. Pope Francis says: “Here, I would echo that courageous challenge: ‘As never before in history, common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning…Let ours be a time remembered for the wakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life.”(148) Laudato Si’ # 207
