Catholic sisters of the International Union of Superiors General are busy gathering Sisters, momentum, ideas and commitments to protect and safeguard the planet in line with Pope Francis’ encyclicalSister-led dialogues
When challenged about what it is she thinks sisters can bring to the high-level conversation, she disarmingly made the connection between faith and the protection of creation pointing to how the religious have Pope Francis’ writings and example to inspire them and push them where only the brave dare to go project is one of the results of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the Care for Our Common Home as it spurred the sisters to reflect on how they could take up his challenge and gave them an opening...
There is also the awareness, she added, that alone we “are not equipped to deal with this situation because it is so big and we don't have all the knowledge that is needed to deal with it,” she said, but by educating Sisters to engage with grassroots communities – the ones who are the most affected by climate change and the loss of biodiversity – we think we can generate positive action that will have concrete results.
In both of these, she explained, it is clear that what happens to the environment directly affects the human person, and the Sisters have the capacity to have a holistic approach to the issue that includes the social, the environmental and the spiritual – all of these crucial to individuals, communities, nations and the planet.
“If the people at the grassroots understand what is happening, they can stand up and say: ‘Enough is enough and it will stop.”
