Quiet Time:

           Take 30 minutes to reflect on what God is saying to you  in today's  prayer and readings. Use the following questions as a possible guide, or simply allow the Spirit to speak to you.

-   In what ways do you promote the integrity of the Earth's ecological systems?

- How can you go about adopting patterns of consumption that safeguard the Earth's regenerative capacities?

-   In what ways do you promote/hinder human rights and community well-being?

Sharing:         As a follow up to your personal quiet time, share with your Brothers in community the fruits of your reflection. What is God saying to you about Ecological Integrity1?
