Lenten Meditations

 

  • The glory of the Human has become the desolation of the Earth.
  • The desolation of the Earth is becoming the destiny of the Human.
  • All Human activities must be judged primarily by the extent to which they foster a mutually enhancing Human – Earth relationship.

Thomas Berry

How can we foster an attitude for today’s Ecological Age!

  • To think of the Human as a species among species
  • To ask not what we want but what does the Earth want to be

Thomas Berry
