Summary:

"In his letter to the world on care for our common home (Laudato Si’, 2015), Pope Francis shines a light on the cry of Creation, which human actions have wounded in so many ways. It is easy to feel defeated by the signs of destruction around us and their impacts on plants, animals and humans: drought, flooding, fire, refugee crises, conflict. As Christians, how can we respond to the cry of Creation in a truly life-changing and life-giving way? This faith-filled retreat for groups – parishes, religious communities, retreat centres and more – nurtures ecological conversion by immersing participants in prayerful listening, personal engagement and discernment. Each of the eight sessions offers spiritual exercises that promote contemplative ecology at the service of care for our common home."-- Provided by publisher.
