In Lenten reflection, US bishops call Catholics to ecological conversion and action
The U.S. bishops are inviting Catholics to undergo an ecological conversion this Lent, a process of prayer and action that they said includes pressing government officials to protect the environment and address climate change.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the reflection Feb. 17, a day before Ash Wednesday and the start of the 40-day Lenten season. It was authored by Louisville Archbishop Shelton Fabre, chair of the Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, and Bishop Elias Zaidan, head of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon and chair of the Committee on International Justice and Peace.
