    from Catholic Climate Covenant

    We are living in a time of multiple crises, all calling us to take action. In the summer of 2020, racism, a global pandemic, climate change, pollution, wildfires, and detained immigrants, are all crises that we must confront. How are these multiple crises connected? How do the words, “I can’t breathe” connect to our faith? How can the tools of mindfulness meditation and compassion drawn from our faith guide us in responding appropriately in constructive ways, so that the Earth and all beings may flourish?
