As we walk with Christ toward the Cross, we remember Mary’s faithful presence. Honor her with native Mary Garden plants! Wild columbine, traditionally Our Lady’s Shoes, supports hummingbirds and biodiversity with its graceful red-and-yellow blossoms. 🌹🌿✝️ #HolyWeek #IntegralEcology #MaryGarden

As we walk with Christ toward the Cross, remember: the whole creation groans in labor pains awaiting redemption. His sacrifice renews all things, including our common home. What beauty in creation are you contemplating today? 🌿✝️ #HolyWeek #LaudatoSi #IntegralEcology #Catholic #hope

🌿 Children deserve to grow up with a sense of wonder, not a burden of fear and anxiety. Let’s help them discover the beauty and goodness of the natural world, because it’s love and gratitude that inspire lasting care. #ClimateChange #ClimateAnxiety #ClimateCrisis #EnvironmentalEducation #HopeNotFear

🌿 Is political activism enough? 🌿 The #climate movement demands action from others, especially governments, but without personal conversion, little changes. As #Catholics, we know the root of ecological destruction is sin. The remedy? Conversion of the heart and the saving love of Jesus Christ.

🌎 Science gave us the means to harm the climate. To develop unsustainable energy. To pollute, overconsume, and haphazardly develop. To destroy landscapes and erase biodiversity. So I say: don’t follow the science. Not by itself. We need science guided by wisdom, ethics, and LOVE. 💚 -Bill Jacobs

We often treat conservation like it’s only technical work. But if we want to heal the Earth, we need to ask how and why we work. Environmental problems are social, cultural, and spiritual. Conservation careers should be too. Message for info on career coaching. #Catholic #IntegralEcology
