Green Saints For A Green Generation

It has been over eight years since Pope Francis, in Laudato Si' established care for creation as one of the central themes of Catholic social teaching. Yet that ecological consciousness has yet to take root en masse among the Catholic faithful. In this book, young Catholic women of the "green generation" reflect on saints--canonized and not--who connected their faith to concern for the earth. By connecting well-loved saints to environmental responsibility, the contributors hope to encourage the not-yet informed to become active, inviting younger generations to join the ecological movement, and taking on the responsibility from our elders, newly shouldering the ecological burden for ourselves.

On the path of cultivation, the spirit was revered, the mysteries of yin and yang were stolen, and the fortune of heaven and earth was seized! Defying ten thousand principles, defying the will of the heavens, finally becoming a saint! Don't ask about the path of life or death when you're on the verge of death. To live one's life as a sovereign, to tread across thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains, to visit the nine heavens of the Azure Dragons! Even as a man, he would rule the world!
