#SaintMariaGoretti #IntegralEcology #CareForCreation
🌿 Is political activism enough? 🌿
The #climate movement demands action from others, especially governments, but without personal conversion, little changes.
As #Catholics, we know the root of ecological destruction is sin. The remedy? Conversion of the heart and the saving love of Jesus Christ.
🌿 Blessed Jolenta of Poland 🌿
A princess who embraced poverty & simplicity to care for people who are poor.
Jolenta reminds us that integral ecology begins with humility & material detachment, freeing us to love people who are vulnerable & the Earth with reverence.

🌎 Science gave us the means to harm the climate.
To develop unsustainable energy.
To pollute, overconsume, and haphazardly develop.
To destroy landscapes and erase biodiversity.
So I say: don’t follow the science. Not by itself.
We need science guided by wisdom, ethics, and LOVE. 💚
-Bill Jacobs
Saint Jude - Apostle of Hope

We often treat conservation like it’s only technical work.
But if we want to heal the Earth, we need to ask how and why we work.
Environmental problems are social, cultural, and spiritual.
Conservation careers should be too.

🌿 Saint Theophilus of Corte 🌿

🌿 "Dominion over nature—the task which God gave humanity—should not become tyrannical. It must be a relationship of reciprocity with the environment."
-Bishop Robert Francis Prevost #PopeLeoXIV #Catholic
🌿 "We must move from words to action, from dominion to reciprocity—with one another and with the natural world."
—Bishop Robert Francis Prevost (now #PopeLeoXIV)
Bishop Prevost rejected a tyrannical domination that only controls and exploits nature to embrace care for all creation. #Catholic
