SUSTAINABILITY AT EMMAUS
In his encyclical 'Laudato Si', Pope Francis explains how we are summoned to see our life as an ecological vocation.
“The whole of creation is one interrelated community before God, therefore as members of this community, we are invited to see God in every living thing. Every creature is the object of the Father’s tenderness who gives it its place in the world. Even the fleeting life of the least of beings is the object of His love and in its few seconds of existence, God enfolds it with His affection’. ”
Pope Francis addressed his encyclical to every person on the planet. We now have the inspiration and leadership to change our hearts and minds, and behaviour, to care for our common home. Our students here at Emmaus have taken a lead role already, through their enthusiasm and passion to be change agents in sustainability.
Pope Francis has written a letter addressed to every person on this planet, asking us all to protect our common home, the earth. In his encyclical, Laudato Si', Pope Francis speaks openly about the devastating effects of climate change on people and the planet.
