Pope Francis' Encyclical: Hearing the Cry of the Earth
The Earth needs both physical and spiritual attention and awareness, our
acts and prayers, our hands and hearts. Life is a self-sustaining
organic whole of which we are a part, and once we reconnect with this
whole we can find a different way to live -- one that is not based upon a
need for continual distraction and the illusions of material
fulfillment, but rather a way to live that is sustaining for the whole.
Sufi mystic, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, reflects on Pope Francis' 2016
encyclical calling us all to love and care for the sacred life that
sustains us, just as it loves and protects us.
