A Grown-Up Lent Quotes

“Is one of the sins our unbridled economic self-interest, which turns its back on the common good in pursuit of individual wealth? Might it be our careless exploitation and waste of precious natural resources, which threaten future generations with scarcity of water, wood, minerals, clean air, and all those essential things we need to survive?”

“Find out whether the methods used to keep fruits and vegetables healthy will keep the earth healthy as well. Find out whether the living conditions and wages of workers at farms and processing factories are just or unjust. And then eat what is just and merciful, fast from what is unjust and cruel. This ethical approach to eating and fasting puts us in touch with our fellow humans and with the rest of God's world and leads us to become wiser stewards of God's creation.”
