Reflection: Growth, progress, economic interest and profit can often be pursued for their own sake, without any regard for the consequences for other areas of life, whether on the poor or on the global good of inclusion. The freedom given to us by the Holy Spirit in not an individualistic freedom, but one that unites and helps us create ‘community’. The Holy Spirit guides us to transform our individualism and self-centeredness into a response of generosity for all to enjoy. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin
Laudato Si ‘… We have only one heart and the same wretchedness which leads us to mistreat an animal will not be long in showing itself in our relationships with other people…’ Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ #92
