Reflection from G. K. Chesterton
"I don't drink or smoke, you know...because I think they are drugs. And yet I fancy all hobbies, like my camera and bicycles, are drugs tooo...drugging myself with speed, sunshine, fatigue, and fresh air. That is the matter with all of us. We're too busy to wake up."
Words from the first reading of Isaiah
"For thus says the Lord, The creator of the heavens, who is God, The designer and maker of the earth who established it, Not creating it to be a waste but designing it to be lived in..."
Isaiah in the first reading answers the question, "why did create?" The answer...God created the earth for life, for us...designed it not to be a waste but to be lived in...
Most scientist agree, to a large extent that the specifics of the earth, if they were alterted just slightly there would be no life...
Yet there is life...God Designed it that way...Our Task it make sure the earth continues to support life...
In this season Advent perhaps we could look around and see where we had to the waste and take away life and adjust...
Going Green isn't a matter of liberal agenda it is a matter of life...The best way to show love for God is to enrich and sustain the gift he has given...
Words from Pope Benedict
" Alongside the ecology of nature, there exists what can be called a “human” ecology, which in turn demands a “social” ecology. All this means that humanity, if it truly desires peace, must be increasingly conscious of the links between natural ecology, or respect for nature, and human ecology. Experience shows that disregard for the environment always harms human coexistence, and vice versa. It becomes more and more evident that there is an inseparable link between peace with creation and peace among men. Both of these presuppose peace with God. "
