"Man's authority over creation is not 'absolute' but 'ministerial': it is a real reflection of the unique and infinite lordship of God. Hence man must exercise it with wisdom and love, sharing in the boundless wisdom and love of God." (Evangelium Vitae No. 52) Otherwise, "the flowerbed" (Dante Alighieri's Paradiso, XXII, 151) would be transformed into a catastrophic abyss.

[from Daily Gospel 2015 -Claretian Publications]

It is true! Man cannot be a Christian and at the same time neglect his duties as a steward of God's creations. Let us integrate in everything we do - be it mission work, prayer meetings, or venue designs for evangelistic events - the responsibility God has given us from the very start: to take care of the environment and let nature bloom to its full potential in the way God has designed for it to become.
