Living Laudato Si Goals Each Day – the JPIC Team in the USA

The discernment journey into the goals of the Laudato Si Action Platform - prepared by the JPIC Team in the USA

Fourth of July Kick Off

July 4th this year will the kick-off for our discernment journey into the goals of the Laudato Si Action Platform. Each week you will receive a reflection sheet prepared by a member of the USA JPIC team. Each day will highlight one of the 7 goals, giving you a suggestion, an inspiration, a focus for your reflection.

We invite you to send a few minutes each day diving deeper into what that goal may be calling us to do. You might want to make notes about what captures your attention.

These reflections will also be found on our USA website which is undergoing some changes this summer.  There is a new page under the "Act For Justice" tab  for the Laudato Si Action Platform. On that page we will be posting many resources  as well as the actions already underway by each of you.

We encourage you to share this journey far and wide as we endeavor to work together across the globe in care of our common home.

This week we focus on water.  This summer our two coasts are experiencing the effects of climate change: the west coast is in a severe drought with raging forest fires; the east coast is experiencing an abundance of rain, leading to flash floods and destruction.
