With our frazzled lifestyles, it can sometimes be difficult to find time to care for God’s creation.
Don’t despair, however: Whether you have one minute – or 15 minutes – we have the perfect activity for you so you can make the most of however much time you have to care for our common home.
“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience” (LS 217).
