• As we begin the sacred season of Lent, we can draw inspiration from the Laudato Si’ Movement:
  

Lent is an invitation to look at both our spiritual and ecological lives with fresh eyes. It’s a time to acknowledge the ways in which our hearts need to change, and then take concrete actions to make that change visible in the world.

We invite all Catholics to embrace this sacred season by reflecting on how we can care for our Earth, making small changes to our daily actions, and reconnecting with creation through meaningful steps toward healing and sustainability.

Excerpt from Laudato Si’:

Our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us . “Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs” (LS 1). We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf . Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters (LS 2).

• What does it mean to you to be "dust of the earth"?
• What is one thing you are willing to sacrifice this Lent to live more gently upon our Common Home?
