Painfully Aware (Care for Creation: Laudato Si' in Action)
In "Laudato Si’", Pope Francis issued a challenging invitation, encouraging us to pay attention to “those questions which are troubling us…and which we can no longer sweep under the carpet,” so that we “become painfully aware” of “what is happening to our planet” and its people.
Welcome to Care for Creation: Laudato Si' in Action, a reflection series connecting us to our individual and collective call to ecological justice. These are the stories that make us painfully aware of the truths of climate change.
This week’s reflection was written by Bryan P. Galligan, SJ. Bryan is a Jesuit scholastic of the East Province and was assigned to the Jesuit Justice and Ecology Network Africa where he led advocacy efforts on food and climate justice and engaged in research on the sustainability of small -scale fisheries. This reflection was narrated by Elise Gower, former associate director for Contemplative Leaders in Action.
