'The physical structure of the earth is love'
|
This is a quote from Ilia Delio that leads us to understand that our earth, everything on it, and everything surrounding it, is created from love. God is love and God is in everything from the stars in the sky to the worms in our earth and even the earth itself. Pope Francis wants us to fall in love with our earth, so that we can have a real connection to it. If we love our earth and all that it holds, we will want to protect and care for it. |

Watch this video and then discuss some of the questions below.
1. Our earth is gift. What are some things that you are grateful for?
(Fresh water, food, mountains, fresh air, fish etc)
2. Are there some things that you take for granted?
3. Take a walk around your neighbourhood and point out all the things you see that are gifts.
(Who can find the smallest gift or the biggest gift. Can you find a gift that is ugly/slimy/scarey?)
4. Talk honestly as a family about how often you find yourselves on devices. What effect does this have on family relationships? Does it stop you interacting with each other and with nature?
