Readings:
Isaiah 40, 1-5, 9-11, God up to a high mountain, Zion, cry out at the top of your voice. (another excellent reading, this time from Isaiah II)
Psalm 104, Bless the Lord My Soul.
Pope Francis, Laudato Si:
A Reading from Pope Francis’ Letter on the Environment:
When we speak of the “environment”, what we really mean is a relationship existing between nature and the society which lives in it.
Nature, the environment, cannot be regarded as something separate from ourselves, a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and in constant interaction with it.
Must be a new musician or singer, joining with David.
It is critical to seek comprehensive solutions which consider the interactions within natural systems themselves and with social systems.
We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.
Wow! That is Genevieve, moving on her own, and she wants to help The Old Geezer.
Strategies for a solution demand an integrated approach: combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and protecting nature and our entire environment.
The words of Pope Francis.
Luke 3, 15-16, 21-22, The baptism of Jesus.
