This Advent, challenge yourself to live more intentionally through Marist Eco-Advent—embracing weekly practices inspired by Laudato Si’ and the simplicity, presence, and care at the heart of Marist spirituality.
Action Options:
Create a Low-Waste Holiday Celebration.
Use reusable gift wraps (fabric, boxes, scarves).
Avoid single-use décor; make natural ornaments (orange slices, pine boughs, cinnamon sticks).
Give the Earth a Gift.
Plant a native species (if seasonally appropriate), or commit to one restoration act—e.g. trash pickup, invasive species removal, or supporting a rewilding project.
Practice a ‘Joy Audit.’
Reflect on what brings real joy—not superficial or consumer-driven—and intentionally choose those practices over material substitutes.
