This sense will make us strong enough to dedicate ourselves to the demanding task of caring for what he calls 'our common home.' When my home is under threat I will fight tooth and nail to protect it and those living in it, because I love it.

Brian Grogan brings the background of Ignatian spirituality and a lived appreciation of God's creation to his book of meditations on Pope Francis' Encyclical, Laudato Si. Rather than an exhaustive explanation of the encyclical, this book serves as a daily invitation to notice in ordinary creation the invitation of God to love and care for all God's creation. Read slowly each morning, it could give a focus for living the day in recognising God in all things, and the call of God to be a co-creator of his beautiful world each day.
