Suggestions for Personal Action
On January 6, 2021, the feast of the Epiphany, the Orthodox Church of America released a film entitled The Face of God. It is found at this link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7wdRr1pFLM). In the spirit of the quotation above from St. John of Damascus the film underscores that nature is sacred. “It is how God dresses.” As the season of Lent continues may we experience the repentance, the change of heart, that is necessary to re-order our relationship to nature in some specific way: use less water; avoid plastics and single use containers; reduce consumption of meat; increase plant-based nutrition, etc.
