Answer:

This goal is a call to protect our common home for the wellbeing of all, as we equitably address the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and ecological sustainability.

Empower your community to respond to the cry of the Earth with this Ignatian toolkit. For Ignatius, discernment started with a close study of his feelings. He broke them down into two categories: consolation and desolation. Broadly put, consolation draws us closer to God and others with emotions like joy, gratitude or peace. Desolation pulls us away from God, and it can manifest from guilt or feelings of failure. This doesn’t mean our feelings are good or bad. Ignatius simply noted whether the movements of his heart propelled him toward or away from God.

When thinking about the climate crisis and environmental injustice, it’s easy to feel despair, anxiety or apathy. As you discern your Action Plan, reflect on your feelings. Do you feel angry or depressed about environmental issues? Where are these feelings pointing you—toward or away from God?

Ignatius cautions not to make decisions from a state of desolation. We might do more harm than good. Instead, our discernment should examine experiences that make us feel closer to God. Perhaps you find peace and spiritual fulfilment in tending a community garden. Or maybe you feel most energized at a climate policy protest. These feelings could be clues to what God is calling you to do now.
