Part 3 - Theology of work and care of Creation
Description: St Josemaría promoted a lay spirituality that regarded professional, social and family relations as the principal setting for our encounter with Christ, leading the believer to ‘love the world passionately’. This session will explore to what extent this love for the world also entails love for the natural world, leading to a new spiritual consideration of all creatures.

Content:
e. Theological context of ecotheology.
f. The extension of St Josemaria’s theology of work to the care of Creation.
