pickI picked up this book after watching The Two Popes. It's Pope Francis' major statement on the environment and humanity's obligation to save the planet. The approach is ecological (everything is connected) and humanitarian and deeply critical of our capitalistic narratives of progress. I am glad I read it.
Finished Laudato Si while doing some #audiostitching! I'm at 9.5 hours for the #24B4Monday #readathon, and it's 10:45 pm, so I might as well call it ~10 hours total. I finished 2 books, A Lost Lady and Laudato Si, (I'll post reviews tomorrow), despite a very busy weekend and not much reading time! 😊 Now I'm going to do a little more seminary reading before going to bed! #NFNov @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid @jb72 @Clwojick @rsteve388
Fun little #audiorun to break up an evening of reading. And for once, one of my required reads is available as an audiobook, and a free one at that! #NFNov @rsteve388 @Clwojick
pickI read malayalam translation of this book. In this book pop said about the earth. We must protect earth and entire environment. The earth not for us, it must he transferred to the next generation with out hurting her. Protect our environment ......
"The acceptance of our bodies as God's gift is vital for welcoming & accepting the entire world as a gift from the Father & our common home, whereas thinking that we enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often subtly, into thinking that we enjoy absolute power over creation. Learning to accept our body, to care for it & respect its fullest meaning, is an essential element of any genuine human ecology."
"Developing the created world in a prudent way is the best way of caring for it, as this means that we ourselves become the instrument used by God to bring out the potential which he himself inscribed on things: 'The Lord created medicines out of the earth, and a sensible man will not despise them' (Sirach 38:4)."
Taking a free class at Church on #LaudatoSi this is great because the book is so dense and I'm excited to talk about it. Taking notes on what #PopeFrankie says!
