Franciscans for Earth

 

 

Saint Francis of Assisi saw the face of God present in the goodness of creation and heard the call to ‘go and repair.’ In respect and reverence, Francis was brother to even the smallest of  creatures, recognizing the poor Christ present within each one. Led by the Gospel, his relationship with the universe drew him closer to God.

 

As Franciscan Sisters, we also relate to creation as sister and have the same mission to reconcile and draw others into relationship with creation. The world is experiencing diminishment and critical devastation of resources and biomes. There has become a growing distance between humanity and creation.  

 

Franciscans for Earth fosters the shift of consciousness from consumerism to relationships of interdependence that ensure a just, sustainable and vibrant earth community, in essence to change the framework from which humanity operates, and in so doing repair, restore and replenish respect for a deep connectedness with earth.  For more information about Franciscans for Earth click on the "Earth" tab at the top of the page.
