For the week of March 7th:
“It is becoming more and more evident that the issue of environmental degradation challenges us to examine our life-style and the prevailing models of consumption and production, which are often unsustainable from a social, environmental and even economic point of view. We can no longer do without a real change of outlook which will result in new life-styles, “in which the quest for truth, beauty, goodness and communion with others for the sake of common growth are the factors which determine consumer choices, savings and investments.” —From Pope Benedict XVI’s "If You Want to Cultivate Peace, Protect Creation" - 2010 World Day of Peace Message, paragraph #8.
