| Summary: | In Laudato Si, Pope Francis encourages us to understand creation as a gift from God. Elaborating on the “giftedness” of creation suggests three important themes that bear upon our ecological awareness: the call to respond to the gift with gratitude, the goodness of the gift as bearing something of the giver, and the interrelation of the gift as it comes forth from God. The Eucharist, as God’s unsurpassable gift, deepens each of these themes, and calls us to ecological stewardship. |
