The Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart affirm their commitment to a spirituality of compassionate concern and care for the ecological wellbeing of Earth and the universe.
In a statement of their Commitment to the” Laudato Si’ 7-Year Journey to Integral Ecology,” the sisters write that “…we renew our lifelong commitment to ecological conversion.”
This ecological conversion involves dedication to a seven-goaled action platform that supports Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’, Care for Our Common Home.
The Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart are making this commitment in solidarity with religious women and men around the world who have “set out on the long path of renewal” to integral ecology envisioned by Laudato Si’.
Pope Francis also is calling on six other groups found in the Catholic Church to also adopt the goals of the Laudato Si’ Action Platform. These include: families; dioceses and parishes; educational institutions; hospitals and health care centers; organizations and groups; and businesses and agricultural organizations.
