That means you. And, come to think of it, the encyclical also would apply to the astronauts living in the Interna onal Space Staon, even though technically they're not on this planet. Pope Francis points out that our rela onship with the environment can never be isolated from our rela onship with others and with God. The Church teaches that crea on is a gi from God, and we show respect for our Creator by taking care of the environment. We also care for crea on because of the rela onship between the environment and our well-being, a rela onship known as human ecology. The pope cites the devasta ng impact of climate change on the most vulnerable people of our world and of our responsibility to protect the earth and each other. According to Catholic Relief Services, developing na ons are prone to major devasta on as a result of climate-related disasters. Homes, livelihoods, crops, livestock and human lives are being destroyed in the wake of storms and floods. Severe hunger and disease o en follow these disasters at a slower but just as deadly pace. CRS works to help the poor become more resilient to natural disasters and the effects of climate change. Climate change, the pope explains, is a mul dimensional problem with serious social and economic implica ons. We are called to ac on at every level -- as individuals, as members of a region and as a global community to redefine our rela onship with nature. Some of us have already taken steps in their own lives and as advocates of public policies that make our world a cleaner place to live. Others have yet to begin. As Pope Francis explains, we must do more. www.stlouisreview.com Excerpts from Laudato sI 9. Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew...asks us to replace consump on with sacrifice, greed with generosity, wastefulness with a spirit of sharing, an asce cism which “entails learning to give, and not simply to give up. It is a way of loving, of moving gradually away from what I want to what God’s world needs. It is libera on from fear, greed and compulsion.” 10. I believe that Saint Francis is the example par excellence of care for the vulnerable and of an integral ecology lived out joyfully and authen cally. He is the patron saint of all who study and work in the area of ecology, and he is also much loved by non-Chris ans. 11. His disciple Saint Bonaventure tells us that, “from a reflec on on the primary source of all things, filled with even more abundant piety, he would call creatures, no ma er how small, by the name of ‘brother’ or ‘sister’”.[20] 14. Obstruc onist a tudes, even on the part of believers, can range from denial of the problem to indifference, nonchalant resigna on or blind confidence in technical solu ons. 18. The con nued accelera on of changes affec ng humanity and the planet is coupled today with a more intensified pace of life and work which might be called “rapidifica on”. CHAPTER ONE -- WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COMMON HOME II. THE ISSUE OF WATER §27 …30. Yet access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal human right, since it is essen al to human survival and, as such, is a condi on for the exercise of other human rights. III. LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY §32 32 The loss of forests and woodlands entails the loss of species which may cons tute extremely important resources in the future, not only for food but also for curing disease and other uses. IV. DECLINE IN THE QUALITY OF HUMAN LIFE AND THE BREAKDOWN OF SOCIETY §43-47. 47. Furthermore, when media and the digital world become omnipresent, their influence can stop people from learning how to live wisely, to think deeply and to love generously. ...True wisdom, as the fruit of selfexamina on, dialogue and generous encounter between persons, is not acquired by a mere accumula on of data which eventually leads to overload and confusion, a sort of mental pollu on. V. GLOBAL INEQUALITY §48 48. In fact, the deteriora on of the environment and of society affects the most vulnerable people on the planet: “Both everyday experience and scien fic research show that the gravest effects of all a acks on the environment are suffered by the poorest”.

Mogliśmy także lepiej wyposażyć szkolną kuchnię dzięki czemu dzieci spożywają lepsze posiłki. Fundusze od Was pozwalają nam również zadbać o kondycję budynków i terenu.

Page Eleven July 19, 2015 16th Ordinary Sunday Page Twelve July 19, 2015 16th Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen ON RSVPs: TO WEDDINGS, AND OTHERWISE Copyright 2015 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected]) There’s a li le game I play whenever I’m invited to a wedding. The object of the game is simple: be the first to return the RSVP. Not to be among the first. Not to be, say, in the top ten. I want to be the first--the very first--of the invited guests responding in the posi ve. The last wedding I got invited to was just a few weeks ago, and a er pu ng in a long day, logging several training miles a er work, and then stopping off at the local Jewel to get something to make for dinner, I didn’t get home un l a er 8:00 PM. That’s when I found Maria and James’ wedding invita on in the mail slot. In truth, I was hungry and spent, but as much as I wanted to just sit down with a glass of wine, I knew that if I did this, the evening would slip away. Accordingly, I signed-off on the RSVP form and headed back into the night to deliver it in person to the mailbox in front of the Jefferson Park Post Office. This was no guarantee of being first in line, of course (I just missed it…), but to reference an old golf maxim which holds that the pu can’t drop if it doesn’t reach the hole, “Never up, never in!” I take an aggressive approach to returning RSVPs because I want the people invi ng me to know--and sooner than later--that I’m totally in. Why the immediate commitment? Because I believe weddings represent the Kingdom as well as just about anything I’ve been a part of over the years. I mean, the joy and love at most weddings I’ve a ended have been very nearly tangible, and as a priest friend told me years ago, if love is present and real for the en re commu- nity--which it certainly is--at a wedding, then love can be present and real for all of us, all the me, everywhere, a.k.a. the Kingdom. Why wouldn’t I be excited about ge ng invited to such a miracle in the moment? Why wouldn’t I want to say, “Yes! I’m coming!” and be quick about it? Which makes me wonder some mes why I’m not as quick to RSVP to the invita on that Jesus extends to me today. The Gospel picks up where it le off last week when Jesus sent the Twelve out preaching repentance and healing the sick. Today, they return and are excited to tell Jesus all about it, but even as they do so, the crowds con nue to gather, not even leaving the disciples any me to eat. And this is when Jesus extends an invita on to his friends that really applies to you and me as well. “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while…” I know--because I’ve stayed there a few mes--that above the entrance door to the Cardinal Stritch Retreat House in Mundelein are the words, Venite seorsum. The La n text is taken from Christ’s invita on to all of us to come away for a while. Away from the world. Away from doing even good things, just to reconnect with the reason we’re doing them in the first place. And while the retreat house is nice, so is the kitchen table, or the den, or a park bench. I like weddings because they speak to me of the Kingdom, but no more so than a quiet talk with the Lord. I RSVP quickly to wedding invita ons. I need to be quicker to RSVP to Christ’s invita on to come away.
