Ecological Franciscanism

Ecological Franciscanism is a spiritual and ethical perspective inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, emphasizing reverence for all of creation. It sees nature—not just humans—as a reflection of divine beauty and interconnectedness. This approach advocates for sustainable living, environmental stewardship, and compassion toward all living beings, recognizing their intrinsic worth. Rooted in Franciscan values, it encourages humility and stewardship, inspiring individuals to protect the environment as a sacred duty and to foster harmony between humanity and the natural world.
