Ecological Spirituality: Caring for our Common Home
Ecological Spirituality: Caring for our Common Home sets out to show that love of the Creator, love for each other and love of our Earth are three facets of the same diamond. There is a great gift of tenderness and love in finding the sacred in all things, the imprint of God’s love. We can discover those gifts if we live contemplatively, opening our bodies and souls to the variety and abundant beauty of creation.
Trish Hindmarsh explores what it means to be ‘spiritual’ and discusses the opportunities to discern what decisions and actions are needed right now to live out an ecological spirituality, responding wholeheartedly to this most serious ‘sign of our times’, and dreaming a better future for our children.
Ecological Spirituality is designed to provide a stimulus for individuals, groups, parishes, seminaries, ministries and schools, and all who are concerned about the environment. There are guiding questions for discussion at the end of each chapter. Many people from all walks of life want to respond to the call from deep within to ‘Care for our Common Home’. This is Pope Francis’ phrase and the sub-title of his encyclical Laudato Si, which is a major resource for this work.

Green Bible: Words of Love for a Suffering Planet Revised Edition
The current climate crisis has prompted intense discussions, thoughtful reflections, and an energised movement of youth activists. How can Christians, and, indeed, the entire human community, think more deeply about their role and proper place in creation?
This inspiring collection can help. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of voices that span centuries, traditions, races, ages and geography. Pray with those who speak for God’s creation as humankind seeks to find the balance between economic sustainability, justice and respect for the earth.
‘At a time of human history when cultures of greed and violent tools of death and destruction are elevated to a new religion of the market and technologies, and humankind faces the threat of extinction and ecological collapse, The Green Bible is an important reminder that all faiths teach us that we have received the gifts of creation with a duty to care.’
Generation Laudato Si’: Catholic Youth on Living out an Ecological Spirituality
Written entirely by youth (aged 17 to 35) from 20 countries, this book comprises the thoughts, wisdom, dreams and aspirations of a generation that wants to change how we run the economy, foster community, lead and govern, facilitate education, use and apply technology, and live among the rest of creation. But it is more than just a book; through multimedia including a website, Instagram, Twitter and videos, it is a call to a global conversation to foster ecological conversion.
Generation Laudato Si’ is a remarkable labour of love and of hope! By presenting some of our ecological challenges from the perspective of young people, this book speaks to all generations…
Pierre Charland, OFM, Minister Provincial, Franciscans of Canada
This book is a wonderful response to Pope Francis’ “appeal for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet” and the “urgent moral need for a renewed sense of intergenerational solidarity.”
Evanne Hunter, IBVM
The news that Francis’s remarkable encyclical is working its way down through the vast institutions of the Catholic Church is very welcome – and even better that it is lodging in the minds and hearts of young people.
Bill McKibben, Schumann Distinguished Scholar, Middlebury College, Vermont
The editors of this inspiring book truly offer us a treasure: a long-awaited resource for relating Laudato Si’ with the faith, determination, and wisdom of a young generation.
Hilda P. Koster, SSJ, Associate Professor in Ecological Theology, University of Toronto
Generation Laudato Si’ … has bolstered my conviction that this is not the end: there is still much to be done, and ours is the generation that can do it – we can “shift the paradigm.”
Yusra Shafi, KAIROS Youth Delegate to COP27
