The Nobility of Small Acts

As we begin to walk the path to Easter this Maundy Thursday, Jacqui Rémond invited us to follow Jesus with a servant love of all creation.

“This Easter, I would invite you to replicate Jesus’ model of healing our neighbors … by caring for God’s creation, including humanity and all species,” she said.

Director of Catholic Earthcare Australia, Rémond draws on the words of Pope Francis in Laudato ‘Si, describing the nobility in the duty to care for creation — a duty worked out in small, deliberate acts.

“Through humbly taking responsibility, connecting your personal daily actions with the common good, thinking of future generations, and all who are living now and in the future, this enables us at Easter time to participate in a sublime communion where we’re loving God, loving one another, and loving the earth itself,” she said.
