Care for Creation is a theological question

September 2, 2026 · 1 min read

The document “Caring for Our Common Home” calls for a “responsible and fraternal response to the Triune God”. The ecological question is a theological question: the way we care for Creation reveals and shapes our relationship with God. The deterioration of the environment is alarming and urgent action is needed to ensure the sustainability of the planet. Everything is connected: we must listen to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor.

Áno, máte pravdu, že všetko je prepojené. Keď som minulý rok videla, ako nám sused vybetónoval pol záhrady, hneď som si pomyslela, že to nie je len o vode a vtákoch, ale aj o tom, ako sa správame k tomu, čo nám Boh dal. Potrebujeme začať od maličkostí, nie len čakať na veľké zmeny.

Згоден, що все пов’язане. Ось торік на нашій вулиці в Львові один чоловік вирубав три старі груші, щоб поставити паркан і залити бетонну площадку під авто. Птахи зникли, а влітку земля так спеклася, що навіть трава не росла. Мабуть, справді починається з того, як ми ставимося до того, що Бог нам дав.

Yeah, that bit about everything being connected hits home. Last summer I was delivering near the lakefront and saw a bunch of new condos replace a whole strip of trees and grass—now the runoff just pours straight into the water after rain. Starting with the little stuff like not paving over every yard makes sense, like Lenka said. What do you guys actually do in your own neighborhoods?

Kod nas u Podgorici prošle godine je komšija isekao dva stara oraha da bi napravio parking za kola. Sad ljeti nema hlada ni za mačku, a ptice su otišle. Sve je stvarno povezano, počinje od toga kako gledamo na ono što nam je dato.

I agree, Mykhailo, that's exactly how it starts - with specific decisions on your street. Around the corner from us, they also cut down an old apple tree, because it was "obstructing the car", and now there is bare asphalt, even the rain does not absorb. And sometimes you don't know if that man later regretted it, or if he still planted some bushes there?
