Reflection Starter from Pope John Paul II

"If an appreciation of the value of the human person and of human life is lacking, we will also lose interest in others and in the earth itself. Simplicity, moderation and discipline, as well as a spirit of sacrifice, must become part of everyday life, lest all suffer the negative consequences of the careless habit of a few . . . . A true education in ecological responsibility is urgent and entails a genuine conversion in ways of thought and behavior." - Pope Saint John Paul II (in his 1990 World Day of Peace message)
