Celebrating Laudato SI' Week 2020

Laudato SI' Week 2020 was celebrated with nine days (Novena) prayer and reflection in the provincial house community. 48 Sisters participated in the Novena. Before conducting the Novena, the young members of the community,15 of them were given a week training on Laudato SI' and I teamed them with me to conduct the Novena for the whole community. We prepared powerpoint presentation for each day from May 16-24 having a theme for each day with prayers and reflection from Laudato SI', On Care for Our Common Home. It was a Green Heart Campaign in prayer seeking for an ecological conversion for each of us and for the world, an urgent need of today. The  COVID- 19 lockdown is helping us to delve deeply into the realities of the earth and the poor and to look at our own lifestyle as we spend more time in prayer and reflection. The celebration concluded with a Laudato SI' Evening where our young members shared their poems and purpose of life in the context of Laudato SI'. It was an enriching time for all of us in the community.
