We, Presentation Sisters, US Province, publicly commit to joining the worldwide Catholic community and all people of good will in responding to Pope Francis’ appeal to participate in an ongoing journey toward sustainability and integral ecology.
Reflections by Maurice Lange
These reflections are inspired by Pope Francis’ 2022 letter for the Season of Creation. Each ponders 1 of 7 topics in Francis’ writing, with focus given to the theme of “Listen to the Voice of Creation.” The button for each reflection follows through the Sept. 1 – Oct. 4 Season.
Reflections by Maurice Lange
These reflections for each week of Lent connect the seven goals of the Laudato Si Action Platform with Scriptures and the Presentation charism. The button for each week of Lent (plus Ash Wednesday) follows.
Honoring the sacredness of life in all its forms.
Hearing and responding to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor by deepening our Spirituality of Being in Communion (C3), aware always of our interconnectedness with each other and all of creation.
Furthering our ongoing ecological conversion by continued participation in the study of and reflection on Laudato Si’.
Being intentional about praying in silence or in other ways for the whole of creation.
Making decisions mindful of their impact on people kept poor and their effects on the ecological system.
Acting in respect for all of creation by choosing to conserve, recycle, reduce, reuse, and repurpose; by consciously using energy saving devices, when available; by living simply.
Continuing to “work for the transformation of unjust systems” (C9) and to collaborate with those “who promote a more inclusive community of life" (C12).
You can contribute to the mission of the US Province of the Sisters of the Presentation in a variety of ways including prayer, volunteering or financial contributions.
