The Letter – A message for our earth
I recently came across a film called The Letter – A message for our earth. It is based on a paper which Pope Francis wrote to the world in 2015 which was called Laudato Si – On Care for our Common Home. In this, the Pope addresses the environmental crisis which we are currently facing, and appeals for everyone to take notice. Since the writing of that document, he has written to some of most vulnerable groups of people who are being directly affected by the crisis, and invited a representative to come and meet with him at the Vatican. Taking part in the film there was someone from among young people in India, someone from the Amazon Rainforest, and a marine biologist, among others. The film tells the story of the Pope’s letter to these people and their subsequent meeting. It is both moving and informative.
Here is a link to the film which you might like to take a look at if you have time over the holiday: https://www.theletterfilm.org/ I would really recommend it! Why not have a look and let us know what you think?
The next meeting of Westbury parish Eco Church group is planned for Tuesday 17 January at 2.00pm at the Rectory. Anyone is welcome, even if you haven’t been before. We look forward to seeing you.
