DAILY LIVING PRACTICES TO CARE FOR CREATON
During January, February, and March we focus on the importance of water in our Caring for Creation section. Likewise, as we approach the start of Lent, we are reminded of our own baptism by water that calls us to a change of heart, to be a source of living, that is life giving water for our world and each other. May we see conservation of water as the new Lenten way of fasting for those of us who have enough. May we find ways to give clean water to those who are thirsty.
Quotation for your Meditation
“I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy…to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation – and we scientists don’t know how to do that.”
