Three Female Saints that teach “Earth is our Common Home”
$20.00
Brigid of Ireland, Hildegard of Bingen and Kateri Tekakwitha were each firmly rooted to the Earth while their spirits soared to the heavens!
The indigenous people of Ireland, the Celts, were passionate in their love and respect for their very green homeland. Brigid believed that through us, Christ is eternally incarnate when we work together and make deep connections to each other, to all creatures and to Mother Earth herself.
Hildegard, a Benedictine nun possessed one of the most brilliant and creative minds in all of Church history. She worked with nature, not against it, and spoke out against human exploitation and destruction of the earth.
Kateri Tekakwitha was canonized by Pope Benedict in 2012. Kateri is now a patron saint of ecology and the environment along with Francis of Assisi. For Kateri, as for all Native people, Creation and creatures lead us to the Creator, the Great Spirit.
