Like the younger son in the parable today we can ‘come to our senses’, turn around, and make a new start. Each of us can do something, each of us has a role to play in order to bring healing to our common home. As we all ‘come to our senses’ in relation to the climate and biodiversity crises, Pope Francis tells us in ‘Laudato Si’ to never underestimate the power of small actions which can have a ripple effect across a community; he tells us that ‘Truly, much can be done!’ (LS §180). So today, during this Season of Creation, we are invited to take up this call, to listen to the voice of creation and discern where we are being called to act, in our own homes, in our local communities, to care more deeply for our common home.
