from St. Anthony's Community, Agra, India
We shared our reflections on Nature – Season
of creation – A Time to Remember and Restore during
the prayer meetings. We felt one with nature, took part in plantation and
continue to take care of the nature. We have also involved our co –workers in
plantation. A deep awareness is felt during this time of Pandemic that we need
to respect, love and take care of the nature, as we are all part of creation.
Nature always been giving us but man’s greed has destroyed the nature.
The pledge to save
our common home made us aware of the urgent need to be one with the nature and
to love its creator. Our them: Nurture Nature for a better Future has
become part of our life. Thus make this world a beautiful
place to live in for the next generation.
From Provintial house, New Delhi, India
A portion of our Community room was created into an atmosphere of the earth, all elements of nature, mountains, hills, rivers, trees, plants, creepers, rocks, flowers that usually surround us on our planet giving us a nostalgic feeling of our Common Home. Based on the youtube Videos, that drew us close to the reality of what is happening on Mother Earth, we were made aware of God’s original plan for humanity, our selfishness and destruction, envisaged by Pope Francis and our responsibility to take care of our Common Home.
Each one of us Sisters held a slogan in the hand like a Poster – e.g. “Save the Earth” ; “Plant trees”; “Say NO to plastic”; “love green, Live green”; “Save Electricity”; “Save Water”; “Change the World”; “Save the Planet”; “Stay alert”; “Grow Trees”; “Keep Clean, Keep Green”; “Save Life”; “ Nurture our Mother Earth”; Save our Future”; and together we took a pledge to care for the earth in our own surroundings.
May this prayer on Creation renew, repair, restore and re-energize our wounded Mother Earth and heal humanity.
