Week three Lenten reflections

During this third week of Lent, two more reflections are offered by the Women of Providence in Collaboration. Our very own Sister Dawn Tomaszewski and Sister Lucy Zientek, CDP, offer words to ponder this week.

In her reflection, Sister Dawn encourages high school-aged students, “Instead of treating our Earth as our stomping ground or worse yet, our dumping ground, we simply need to love Earth and then ask ourselves as we would for any loved one: ‘What will I do to help restore health to Earth?’” Read her reflection here.

Sister Lucy writes, “When we exploit each other, we are inevitably exploiting all of Earth’s creatures. It means that when we fail to reverence each other, we are inevitably failing to reverence all of Earth’s creatures, and that in the worst of ways: we are depriving them of their right to be shaped by human love.” Read her reflection here.
