In her reflection, North America Senior Programs Manager for the Laudato Si Movement Anna Johnson draws on her experience of becoming a mother to explore what it means to reorder our lives around discipleship and care for creation. Just as motherhood transforms her identity, Jesus calls us to a radical reorientation of priorities, placing the most vulnerable, including our ecological sisters and brothers, at the center.
As the Season of Creation begins, Anna invites us to see ourselves not as separate from nature but as deeply interconnected with it, echoing St. Francis, Pope Francis, and the cry of the Earth today. Through everyday choices, both big and small, we can embrace ecological conversion and live for the common good.
Watch the full reflection below and be inspired to walk as a disciple who puts love for God, neighbor, and all creation first.
