Conversion of Heart for the Earth
A Lenten Journey of Faith and Creation Care
Lent is an invitation to look at both our spiritual and ecological lives with fresh eyes. It’s a time to acknowledge the ways in which our hearts need to change, and then take concrete actions to make that change visible in the world.
Lent is a special season for reflection and action through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, when we celebrate the memory of our Lord Jesus Christ in His passion, death, and resurrection. We know that Creation also eagerly awaits redemption (cf. Rm 8:19-23), making Lent an opportunity each year for Catholics worldwide to deepen their faith in Jesus Christ as the redeemer of the whole cosmos, of all creatures, of all creation.
A Special Lent in a Year of Jubilee
This year, as we celebrate:
- The Year of Jubilee
- 10 years of Laudato Si’ and the Laudato Si’ Movement (LSM)
- 800 years of the Canticle of Creatures
Lent becomes a time to prepare ourselves to live this year faithfully and fruitfully. We invite all Catholics to embrace this sacred season by reflecting on how we can care for our Earth, making small changes to our daily actions, and reconnecting with creation through meaningful steps toward healing and sustainability.

Let this Lent be a time where spiritual renewal and care for creation go hand-in-hand. As we experience the transformation of our hearts, let’s also work toward transforming the Earth, making it a place that reflects the justice, peace, and healing that Christ has promised for all of creation.
In recognizing how everything is connected, we come to understand that our actions toward creation are an extension of our love for God.
What to Expect:
The daily actions proposed in this calendar are based on LSM’s three pillars: eco-conversion, sustainability, and advocacy and were developed in collaboration with the Laudato Si’ Action Platform
Let this Lent be a season of renewal, hope, and commitment—for our souls and for the earth.
