Dear sisters and brothers, April 22 we commemorate the INTERNATIONAL MOTHER EARTH DAY, and as the JPIC Team of the Claretian Family, we share this material for awareness and reflection on a reality that necessarily involves us—as part of humanity and as a believing community, as recipients and protectors of the generous gift the Creator has given us in nature.

We are living in a truly complex and critical moment, as a consequence of how we, as a species, have related to our planet—with attitudes and actions that bring us dangerously close to the irreversible degradation of our “Common Home.”

As the Claretian Family, it is our responsibility to take a stand and act in the face of what lies ahead, inspired by the Christian message and grounded in solidarity—knowing that the most vulnerable are the ones who face the greatest challenges in responding to the environmental crisis.

May the Lord of Life enlighten and encourage us in this mission, in defense of life.
