Monthly Justice Challenge for May In today’s Gospel Jesus explains that he has come to us so that we may have life and have life more abundantly. The abundance of life that God has given to us in Christ can be seen throughout creation with all the beauty, uniqueness, and variety of plant and animal life. Caring for God’s Creation is the theme of Catholic Social Teaching for this month’s People of Faith session. Your challenge this week is to think of how you can care for God’s creation as a way of thanking God for the sacrifice that Jesus made out of love for us. What can you do to take care of our earth? What can you do to ensure that you leave the earth a little bit greener for future generations?
