Laudato Si Monthly Eco Challenges - December
December
Reflection Quote: “To be holy does not require us to be dour. It does require us to be awake to the Godness around us everywhere.” --Joan Chittister, OSB
Eco Challenge: It is Advent season. Be awake to creation and find something in creation to celebrate, seeing its fundamental goodness for us.
Facts/Education: “Today’s climate and ecological emergency hurts the most vulnerable, many living in the least wealthy nations, who have contributed the fewest emissions. Indigenous peoples make up five percent of the worlds’ population and protect nearly 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity. We are presently more aware than ever of the link between fossil fuels, and violence and war. We can, however, dream and work for a world where each country produces the energy they need from God-given gifts of the sun and wind, rather than going to war for fossil fuels.” –The Season of Creation Guide: Let Justice and Peace Flow. 2023
