May 24—On the end of the 5th Anniversary of Laudatu Si, What is your response ? One Sister’s response to Laudatu Si … Let us take the common t-shirt and see what Laudatu Si’ has to say. First, it reminds us that the excessive production and consumption of the “throwaway culture” is not sustainable. I takes 3.5 planet Earths to maintain our first world lifestyle. Every time we wash a $5 synthetic t-shirt, we release microplastics into the water and air. When it decomposes in the landfill, the small plastic particles work their way into the food chain. Second, Laudatu Si’ informs us of our moral responsibility to address climate change. Produc-

ing the $35 organic t-shirt not only uses less fossil fuels, but also avoids toxic chemicals, dyes and bleaches used in the ap-parel industry. Third, it challenges us to understand that care for vulnerable people and care for Earth are deeply connect-ed issues. The people (sometimes children) in sweatshops producing cheap clothing are paying the true cost by working dangerous conditions with unhealthy chemicals for unjust wages. I have been trying to slowly replace the garments I wear that have been made with petrochemicals such as polyester, acrylic, rayon, nylon, and spandex, with organic fabrics such as bamboo, hemp, linen, organic cotton, silk, and wool. These organic fabrics reflect the true cost of the garment so I am not making others pay for my privilege. This is my new habit. —Article & Artwork by Sr. Donna Gibbs, CSJ

During Communion, the presider will ask you to recite a Spiritual Communion Prayer:

My Jesus, I believe that You

are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
