"We are losing our attitude of wonder, of contemplation, of listening to creation and thus we no longer manage to interpret within it what Benedict XVI calls 'the rhythm of the love-story between God and man.'"

Christmas 2015: The posts of Christmas past

Merry Christmas, all!
With the Catholic eco-world taking a breather after COP21—and finally taking time to embrace the Advent Season—there's been little to focus on that the "In the News" links at right didn't cover.
With the Top 10 Catholic Ecology stories for 2015 on the way, for now I'd like to extend my heartfelt wishes to all you faithful readers (and all you guests!) for a blessed Christmas. It's been quite a year, and what better way to end it then to celebrate the coming of Christ into world history.
Over the years I've delighted in offering posts on the meaning of Christmas for Catholic ecologists. And so as a small gift from me to you, below is a handy compilation of these posts of Christmas past ...
2011: God and sinners, reconciled
2012: The pontiff's Christmas challenge
2013: Caesar decrees, Christ saves: Good news for Catholic ecologists
May God bless you and yours on this Christmas, 2015!
And as always, stay tuned for a whole lot more in 2016.
In Christ,
Bill P.
