Cuidemos Nuestra Casa Común (Parte 3)
¡Dios, nuestro Padre, es el Creador del cielo y de la tierra!
Dios ha confiado el cuidado de la creación a los seres hu- manos. Estamos llamados a cultivar y a ser sabios guar- dianes de la tierra, a administrar bien sus recursos y a cui- dar respetuosamente a las criaturas de la tierra.
En la encíclica “Laudato si”; el papa Francisco nos invita a comprender más profundamente nuestra relación con Dios, entre unos y otros y con el resto de la creación y a vivir como corresponde.
- A veces, los esfuerzos que buscan proteger el medio ambien- te y otras criaturas ignoran o incluso atacan la dignidad particu- lar de los seres humanos.
-Si estamos llenos del amor de Dios, comenzará a florecer una cultura de encuentro y solidaridad. El Papa Francisco subraya,
"Estamos hablando de una actitud del corazón, que vive todo con serena atención, que sabe estar plenamente presente ante alguien sin estar pensando en lo que viene después". Con esta actitud del corazón, ni tratamos a otros seres humanos como desechables ni desatendemos ninguna dimensión de la creación de Dios.

“The Exaltation of the Cross stems from the truth that “apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven.”-St. Rose of Lima “Christians see themselves as a people under the sign of the cross. It is the sign of their salvation; it is their ensign, their banner, their cover, their plea, and their glory.” -Thomas Howard
“Mary kept her station at the cross of Jesus, and she will remain with us, too.
When we look at Our Lady of Sorrows we can be sure that “we have a mother who is with us, protects us, accompanies us, helps us, even in difficult times, in bad moments.”-Pope Francis
