Brigidine Sisters and their colleagues are mindful of the urgent plea of Laudato Si’ to respond to the cry of Earth and peoples rendered poor.
The Season of Creation invites us to further reflect, raise awareness and take action with reverence for our Common Home.
In his message for this time, Pope Francis calls us to use the season to “cultivate our ecological conversion.”
“If we learn how to listen, we can hear in the voice of creation a kind of
dissonance. On the one hand, we can hear a sweet song in praise of our beloved Creator; on the other, an anguished plea, lamenting our mistreatment of this our common home”.
Pope Francis
