"There are many ways to pray, and we will each find our own way of tending the Earth within our own hearts." --Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
Pope Francis' Encyclical: Hearing the Cry of the Earth
The Earth needs both physical and spiritual attention and awareness, our acts and prayers, our hands and hearts. Life is a self-sustaining organic whole of which we are a part, and once we reconnect with this whole we can find a different way to live -- one that is not based upon a need for continual distraction and the illusions of material fulfillment, but rather a way to live that is sustaining for the whole. Sufi mystic, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, reflects on Pope Francis' 2016 encyclical calling us all to love and care for the sacred life that sustains us, just as it loves and protects us.
BE THE CHANGE
Go outside today and wake up to the wonder of the web of life we call Earth. Then, spend the rest of the day doing all you do as an act of service, placing the world as a living being within your heart.
