🌿 Is political activism enough? 🌿 The #climate movement demands action from others, especially governments, but without personal conversion, little changes. As #Catholics, we know the root of ecological destruction is sin. The remedy? Conversion of the heart and the saving love of Jesus Christ.

🌿 Blessed Jolenta of Poland 🌿 A princess who embraced poverty & simplicity to care for people who are poor. Jolenta reminds us that integral ecology begins with humility & material detachment, freeing us to love people who are vulnerable & the Earth with reverence. #Catholic #SaintOfTheDay

🌎 Science gave us the means to harm the climate. To develop unsustainable energy. To pollute, overconsume, and haphazardly develop. To destroy landscapes and erase biodiversity. So I say: don’t follow the science. Not by itself. We need science guided by wisdom, ethics, and LOVE. 💚 -Bill Jacobs

Saint Jude - Apostle of Hope www.stjudeshrine.org.uk

We often treat conservation like it’s only technical work. But if we want to heal the Earth, we need to ask how and why we work. Environmental problems are social, cultural, and spiritual. Conservation careers should be too. Message for info on career coaching. #Catholic #IntegralEcology

🌿 Saint Bernardine of Siena 🌿 Bold in word and witness, he preached conversion in all things. Integral ecology calls us to do the same—through faith & care for creation. 🌎💧🐝 Saint Kateri Habitats & Parish Arks help restore biodiversity and reflect God’s love in the land. #CatholicSocialTeaching
