As what we have seen in our society today, we are living in a world that promotes a
consumeristic attitude towards the resources of the nature. Mining and illegal logging has
become a trend and is present in almost all region here in our country. Abuses in fish farming has
become very rampant. Excessive pollutions in the seas, airs and lands have been slowly torturing
our world. These are the result of the greediness of the people to acquire possessions. Man has
the tendency to be overly attached with their obsessions that they fail to notice that our Earth is
suffering because of their indifference towards it.
Seeing all of these problems that are present in our society, as Christian, it is a great
challenge for us to live out the values that we have been living for. We are all challenged to live
out our lives as Christians as the stewards of God’s creation for like the animals, trees, elements
and the entire earth, like us human beings, are God’s creation. We must value, respect and
cherish what our land has provided for it is one of God’s manifestation of love for us Humans.
To harmonize is to become one with the nature. To become one with the nature is to become
sensitive to its needs. Every act of love towards any creation is the same as loving oneself and
most especially of God.
