Sparks of the Universe: Rituals Awakening Appreciation for Earth our Common Home

By Jennifer Callanan

'...the ecological crisis is ... a summons to profound interior conversion.'

Pope Francis, Laudato Si', #217

Sparks of the Universe is a book of rituals inspired by Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si', On Care for our Common Home. It is a resource for educators, students and all those committed to awakening ecological awareness.

Responding to the Pope's invitation, the rituals in Sparks of the Universe invite stillness, deep listening, communal reflection and engagement with the environment.

Pope Francis also says that, '...young people have a new ecological sensitivity and a generous spirit...' LS:209]. This generous spirit requires nurturing; the rituals in Sparks of the Universe provide an opportunity to nurture and create places of grounded hope at these times of ecological crisis.
