QUERIES
- Preserving the quality of life on Earth calls forth all of our spiritual resources. Listening to and heeding the leadings of the Holy Spirit can help us develop qualities which enable us to become more sensitive to all life.
- We do not own the world, and its riches are not ours to dispose of at will. Show a loving consideration for all creatures, and seek to maintain the beauty and variety of the world. Work to ensure that our increasing power over nature is used responsibly, with reverence for life. Rejoice in the splendour of God’s continuing creation.
- Are we concerned that humanity's increasing power over nature should not be used irresponsibly, but with the reverence for life and with a sense of the splendor of God's continuing creation?
- Do we endeavor to live in harmony with nature? Are we careful in our stewardship of the world's irreplaceable resources?
- How can we nurture reverence and respect for life? How can we become more fully aware of our interdependent relationship with the rest of creation?
