The Jesuit university institution INEA (Valladolid) hosted a few weeks ago a theoretical-practical week of ecological conversion for Consecrated Life. A challenge. A joy. A path to follow for conviction and social justice... 15 religious people from different congregations talked about the ecological conversion they lived. They were guided by José Eizaguirre and Teresian Conchi Peláez.
This was the third edition of an experience whose core is the care of the Common House, today under the inspiration of the encyclical of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si'. Awareness towards conversion is necessary among religious congregations. They have visited the office of rezandovoy.org and now they are going to cook the dish of the day, with ecological products, recycling the waste and saving the maximum water. The whisper of the air and the rooster's song interrupt. Nature becomes present and turns theory into a claim. In need. In conversion.
The first challenge after this week will be to convince their communities "that it's worth and makes us happy," they explain. And yes, to share this experience for them is to learn more and spread the illusion to advance in this path of eco-solidarity conversion.
