Summary:

"In Learning the Language of Creation, professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino provides a vision for integral ecology grounded in the conviction, expressed by Pope Francis in his landmark encyclical Laudato Si' on care for creation, that the healing of ecosystems and of human communities goes hand in hand"-- Provided by publisher.

"A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice. In his landmark encyclical Laudato Si' on care for creation, Pope Francis connected contemporary ecological concerns and other issues tackled by Catholic social thought by popularizing the idea of integral ecology. In Learning the Language of Creation, professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, provides a vision for integral ecology grounded in the conviction that the healing of ecosystems and of human communities goes hand in hand, and that "the external deserts in the world are growing, because the internal deserts have become so vast" (LS 217). By engaging her expertise in science and theology, Sister Damien Marie frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology and put it into practice.
