Less is More

Continuing on the theme of Season of Creation, good resources for reflection and action have been shared by various groups. One of those is shared by the Diocese of Liverpool in the UK. It was in their reflection and action resource, Praying with the Gospels, stories from our time and Laudato Si’, that I found the following quote from Laudato Si as a reminder and guide this week:  #222 We need to take up an ancient lesson, found in different religious traditions and also in the Bible. It is the conviction that “less is more”. A constant flood of new consumer goods can baffle the heart and prevent us from cherishing each thing and each moment. In the same guide, they also suggest the following action: • Can you eat less meat this week? Catholics have traditionally abstained from meat on Fridays but there is a recent secular initiative for ‘Meat free Mondays’.
• Can you practise an ‘attitude of gratitude’ for what you do have?
