Caring for creation group
Teach us to respect and love our beautiful world, and all whose lives we touch … Give us courage to pray each day, and work for your kingdom of justice and peace.
All life on earth is connected and inter-dependent. What we do, or don’t do, to live sustainably, has an impact across the world that is becoming ever more apparent, and will have an even greater impact on the lives of generations yet unborn. We touch the lives of people everywhere, and are called to show respect and love in the choices we make.
Our caring for creation group was formed to encourage and support Community members in taking prayerful action, personally and in collaboration with others, in response to the climate and ecological emergency.​
For Benedictines, creation is not just a resource — it is a sign of God’s presence and love. Living the Rule today means taking responsibility for the earth and passing it on in good health to future generations.
​
Conversion of life means ongoing transformation. Today, that includes ecological conversion: changing our habits so that they are life-giving for the earth and for those living in poverty.
