Whether we’re living with severe blizzards in North America, floods in other northern countries or bushfires in Australia, we need to consider what invitations or call these times bring to us as Brigidine women seeking to deepen our understanding of the complexity and inter-relatedness of factors which threaten the life and well-being of our common home”.
