Unity and Harmony: Toward and Ecospirituality

Ecology & Justice Series

The great problem of our time, according to Victorino Pérez Prieto, is superficiality--living on the surface, indifferent to Reality, unaware of our relationship with everything. The consequences are both spiritual and existential, since they directly threaten the health of our planet and all its creatures. Science, philosophers, the intuitions of the mystics, the "green" tradition in Christianity, and the wisdom of the great religious traditions all point to the interrelationship of all things. Pope Francis confirmed this perspective in Laudato Si', describing reality as a seamless garment, where everything is connected and intertwined. This is the essential principle of ecology, and it is the basis in Unity and Harmony for a comprehensive ecospirituality that meets the challenge of our time.
