Reflection for the Seventh Week of Easter

“We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters.” Laudato Si par. 2

Meditation:

1. Invite family members and friends to name at least seven essential needs of every human being. Begin with the most fundamental; start with air.

2. Go through your lists and collect all the elements you have in common. List in an order of the most important.

3. Compare your list with those in the KEY below.

4. Discuss how you may contribute to protecting and/or nurturing each element.
