This is a Tag Cloud (also known as as Word Cloud) of Laudato Si', Pope Francis' recent encyclical. (A Tag Cloud is a visual representation of a text where the importance of each word is shown with a change is font size and color.) This week we have been studying this document as it applies to our mission. Frequently, developing nations are subjected to extreme assaults on the environment by multi-national companies as they rape the land of its natural resources. Only to take to wealth and leave nothing for the people who live live there. We were led by Bernd Beerman, a German Capuchin friar from Munster. He is a chemist who gave us great insight into both the theological aspect of environmental protection but also the practical application of wise use of God's creation.
This is the last week of the program here in Belgium. On the 17th we head to Italy!
Peace and All Good. tim ODE
