Climate Change Attitudes

Posted on March 14, 2021 by psteiner23

While this is only my hypothesis, it seems like there is a growing awareness of the problem of climate change and the need for significant action. This may be in part because the new administration has placed a higher priority on addressing climate change across multiple areas of government. It could also be that folks… Continue reading

In my limited exposure to the Celtic tradition, I know that many of the prayers bring in themes of creation and the beauty of the world around us. Today I want share a prayer from the book Celtic Prayers from Iona by J Phillip Newell: You are above me O God; You are beneath; You… Continue reading

A year in the neighborhood

Posted on March 12, 2021 by psteiner23

Yesterday many media outlets noted that we have reached the one-year mark since the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a pandemic. It’s hard to capture even a small part of the impact of this past year, especially because of all the suffering it has brought. I’ve been fortunate for good health and the health… Continue reading

St. Joseph and CC

Posted on March 11, 2021 by psteiner23

Pope Francis has declared this liturgical year the year of St. Joseph. This is a chance to learn from St. Joseph’s example of love, his trust in God, and his role in the holy family, and also to ask for his intercession. How is the person of St. Joseph related to care of creation? Certainly… Continue reading

Carbon Cost of Computing

Posted on March 10, 2021 by psteiner23

Today I read an article in the NY Times about bitcoin that challenged me to think about the new types of climate-related obstacles we will face in the coming years.

Sacrament

Posted on March 9, 2021 by psteiner23

Catholics believe that sacraments are efficacious signs of God’s grace – essentially God’s grace made visible. I’ve been thinking a lot about this after getting to witness and celebrate my older brother’s wedding this past weekend. I felt God’s presence during their wedding ceremony and exchange of vows and I look forward to witnessing how… Continue reading

St. Bonaventure

Posted on March 4, 2021 by psteiner23

When we think of the saints and care of creation, St. Francis comes to mind first and foremost. But who are other saints who have also helped us how to integrate spirituality and the natural world? I learned this week that St. Bonaventure falls into this group. He helped illuminate how the power, wisdom and… Continue reading

Care of Creation Calculator

Posted on March 3, 2021 by psteiner23

You may be familiar with the term “carbon footprint”, which refers to the amount of carbon that individual or household creates through their home, lifestyle, travel, etc. Since we don’t see the carbon impact of our activity and choices directly (besides maybe the tail pipe emissions from your car), a carbon footprint calculator can be… Continue reading

Bats and Man

Posted on March 2, 2021 by psteiner23

Some of you may know that my favorite podcast is 99% Invisible, which examines the hidden influences of design in our world. I love how they dive into all sorts of topics and explain the history of an idea, building, policy, culture, etc and explore how it/they shape us. This past weekend I listened to… Continue reading
