THE PROPHETIC MISSION OF THE CARE AND PROMOTION OF LIFE: CONTRIBUTIONS FOR AN ECOLOGICAL SPIRITUALITY

Abstract

This paper is a contribution to continue building a necessary ecological spirituality that must include the prophetic dimension of care. It is not enough to look at the events that are happening and raise our voice to denounce the abuse that human beings continue to commit with mother earth. Convinced of God’s presence in the world, we must also make visible the efforts that are already present and that want to change the situation. It begins with the care of oneself, then the care of others, so that together we take care of creation. This implies a pedagogical process in a change of mental structures and a horizon of hope. Only in this way will it be possible to continue caring for and promoting life, where the prophetic dimension of every human being has a great task to be developed.
