Focolare Movement’s EcoPlan - Hearing the Cry of the Earth, the Cry of the Poor and the Cry of the New Generations
Resource Guide
The health of the Mystical Body, of humanity, is peace. And the health of the cosmos
is ecology. I have the impression that in the future there will be a great ecological
development in our Movement because we have to save the natural environment.
In the same way that one has to be alive and not dead in order to work at becoming a saint,
so too must the planet be alive in order to provide a home for humanity. (…) Our planet
is essential for life to exist. Therefore, a healthy ecology is the foundation of peace.
We can only build peace and brotherhood on a planet that exists.”
Chiara Lubich, Rocca di Papa, June 25, 1991
