USCCB Environment/Environmental Justice Program The Catholic Church brings a distinct perspective to the discussion of environmental questions, by lifting up the moral dimensions of these issues and the needs of the most vulnerable among us. This unique contribution is rooted in Catholic teaching calling us to care for creation and for "the least of these." (Mt 25:40) The Environmental Justice Program (EJP), a program of the Department of Justice, Peace & Human Development, educates and motivates Catholics to a deeper reverence and respect for God's creation, and encourages Catholics to address environmental problems, especially as they affect poor and vulnerable people. The program's distinctively Catholic foundation lies in Pope John Paul II’s 1990 World Day of Peace Message. . . and the Catholic bishops’ pastoral statement on the environment, Renewing the Earth.

USCCB Medio Ambiente / Programa de Justicia Ambiental La Iglesia Católica tiene una perspectiva distinta a la discusión de las cuestiones ambientales, levantando las dimensiones mo-rales de estos problemas y las necesidades de los más vulnera-bles entre nosotros. Esta contribución única tiene sus raíces en la enseñanza católica que nos llama a cuidar de la creación y a ver por "los mas pequeños." (Mt 25:40) El Programa de Justicia Ambiental (EJP), un programa del De-partamento de Justicia, Paz y Desarrollo Humano , educa y motiva a los católicos a una reverencia más profunda y al res-peto por la creación de Dios, y anima a los católicos para hacer frente a los problemas ambientales, especialmente cuando afecta a pobres y vulnerables. Los distintivos del programa Católico traen su fundación desde 1990 por el Papa Juan Pablo II en el Mensaje de la Jornada de la Paz. . . Y por la declaración pastoral sobre el medio ambiente de los Obispos Católicos, Renovando la Tierra.

ORACIÓN PARA CUIDAR DE NUESTRA CASA COMÚN Padre de todos,

creador y gobernante del universo, nos confiaste tu mundo a nosotros como un don. Ayúdanos a cuidar de él y de todas las personas,

para que vivamos en relación correcta: contigo, con nosotros mismos,

entre nosotros, y con la creación.

Cristo nuestro Señor, tanto divino como humano,

viviste entre nosotros y moriste por nuestros pecados. Ayúdanos a imitar tu amor por la familia humana

reconociendo que todos estamos conectados, a nuestros hermanos y hermanas de todo el mundo,

a los que viven en pobreza impactados por la devastación am-biental,

y a las generaciones futuras.

Espíritu Santo, dador de sabiduría y de amor,

infundes vida en nosotros y nos guías. Ayúdanos a vivir de acuerdo a tu visión,

moviendo a la acción los corazones de todos, individuos y familias, comunidades de fe,

y líderes civiles y políticos.

Dios Uno y Trino, ayúdanos a escuchar el clamor de los que viven en pobreza, y el clamor de la tierra, para que juntos cuide-

mos de nuestra casa común. Amén.

Esta oración está tomada de la página de la Conferencia de los Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos basada en la Encícli-ca del Papa Francisco “Laudato Si”

Environment/Environmental Justice Program (cont’d)

PRAYER TO CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME

Father of all, Creator and ruler of the universe,

You entrusted your world to us as a gift. Help us to care for it and all people,

that we may live in right relationship-- with You,

with ourselves, with one another, and with creation.

Christ our Lord, both divine and human,

You lived among us and died for our sins. Help us to imitate your love for the human family

by recognizing that we are all connected— to our brothers and sisters around the world,

to those in poverty impacted by environmental devastation,

and to future generations.

Holy Spirit, giver of wisdom and love,

You breathe life in us and guide us. Help us to live according to your vision,

stirring to action the hearts of all— individuals and families,

communities of faith, and civil and political leaders.

Triune God, help us to hear the cry of those in poverty, and the cry of the earth, so that we may together care for

our common home.

Amen.

This prayer from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is based on Pope Francis' Laudato Si': On Care for

Our Common Home.

Jubilee Year of Mercy Twenty second Sunday in Ordinary Time “Alms atone for sins” (Sirach 2:29). Alms are mercy trans-lated into hands-on compassion. Jesus confirms Sirach’s wisdom, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). “Conduct your affairs with humili-ty” (Sirach 3:17). Humility: we’re all alike and special, for we’re children of God. Jesus confirms that wisdom, too: “Do not recline at table in the place of honor. Take the lowest place” (Luke 14:8, 10). In fact, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite friends, relatives, wealthy neighbors. Invite the poor, crippled, lame, blind,” physical-ly or figuratively, society’s most vulnerable and marginal-ized, “who cannot repay you” (see 14:12–14). Jesus seems to be telling us to prepare for eternity with God’s chosen by becoming their friend here and now. Mercy is measured not by our delight in welcoming those we like most or who can repay us best, but by sincerely embracing those we like least, who cannot repay us at all. Utter humility inspires pure mercy; pure mercy leads to eternal joy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copy-

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario “En tus asuntos procede con humildad” (Eclesiástico 3:17). Humildad: todos somos parecidos y únicos por que somos hijos de Dios. Jesús nos da una explicación de lo que es tener humildad “no te sientes en el lugar principal . . . ocupa el último lugar” (Lucas 14:8, 10). De hecho “cuando des una comida o una cena, no in-vites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parien-tes, ni a los vecinos ricos; . . . Invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos” física o simbólica-mente, los más vulnerables y marginados de la socie-dad “por que ellos no tienen con qué pagarte” (ver 14:12–14). Parece que Jesús está por decirnos que nos preparemos para la eternidad con los elegidos de Dios haciéndonos su amigo aquí y ahora. La misericordia no se mide por el placer de ser anfitriones de quienes mejor nos pueden devolver el favor de una invitación, sino por aceptar sinceramente la compañía de aque-llas personas que no nos caen bien, de quien no po-drían devolvernos el favor de una invitación. Una completa humildad inspira misericordia pura y una misericordia pura nos guía a una alegría eterna. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc
