Abstract

At the beginning of the year 2020, doubtlessly, very few people imagined the potential consequences that the virus designated as COVID-19 was going to unleash all over the world. For humankind, this pandemic has represented a massive impact during the year, causing sudden changes in how people envision their projects, conduct their work, interact, and meet to pray and celebrate their faith with the community. Nonetheless, despite that the «Coronavirus» has been responsible for multiple changes, victims, deaths, and anguish, human beings have neither react nor change course to authentically humanizing life processes. This article presents a reflection on the relevance and urgency of a path of a personal and community conversion to an integral ecology, which includes (physical, psychological, and attitudinal) human well-being, goodness for the neighbor, and the search of a culture of care and respect for creation (the «Common Home»).
