Pope Francis invites us to ponder the God of creation, the author of all life. He demonstrates that Jesus reminds us of God’s parental relationship with all of creation, even birds and sparrows. #Easter #LaudatoSi

On this #EarthDay may we heed the call of Pope Francis in #LaudatoSi to remember that we are all interconnected, and this integral relationship carries a responsibility to care for all of God's creation.

[Bishop John Stowe @BpStowe]

Jesus invited others to be attentive to the beauty of the world, employed nature in his parables about the Kingdom, and Jesus himself lived in harmony with all creation: Even wind and sea obeyed him. The Risen Jesus is the glorified Lord of all creation, the fulfillment of all.
