A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice. In his landmark encyclical on care for creation, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis popularized the idea of integral ecology by connecting contemporary ecological concerns and church teachings on creation addressed by Catholic Social Thought. In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.

"Sister Damien Marie Savino's book makes a very important contribution to our understanding of the principles and practices of integral ecology in light of Catholic Social Teaching. At the University of Notre Dame we take the exploration of these principles and practices seriously. Sister Damien Marie's work helps us all to think more deeply about how we can work together to better care for one another and all of creation.
