2. VISION Healing a Broken World 5] The deepening of our faith experience in God‘s creative gift of life calls for transformative change in the way we respond to the urgent task of reconciliation with creation. Creation, the life-giving gift of God, has become material, extractable and marketable. Full of paradoxes, the world confuses and accuses us, but holds out, at the same time, encouraging signs. There is fear, turmoil, suffering, and despair, but also expressions of hope and trust. All of us are responsible, some of us more than others; all of us suffer the effects, some more than others. Justified by technological prowess and consumed by greed, too many human beings continue to dominate and rape nature in the advance towards ‗progress‘; too few reckon with the consequences of our actions. 6] Rational and technical answers to the physical and biological challenges of this world dominate our experience, blunting our sensitivity to the mystery, diversity and vastness of life and the universe. The spiritual depth of communion with nature is banished from our experience by an excess of rationality, but if we want to respond to the searching questions of the women and men of our time, we need to go deeper and increase our communion with creation. We have much to learn in this from others so that their experience makes us draw deeper from our own faith; we need to know on our pulse the hope and healing sought by so many in the world today, especially those who are young or vulnerable and in need of peace across the land. 7] Today, more than ever, we need to recognize Christ in suffering and ugliness, in the depth of all things as in the Passover, reconciling creation through Himself and renewing the Earth. Though powerless, we draw strength through Christ‘s presence and with dignity experience meaning and love. ‗Seeing God in all things‘ calls us into the mystical relation with all creation. The wisdom of God and the new triptych explaining our mission of reconciliation 8 - these give us strength to listen to all people and to work with them. We recognise the wounded and broken world and humbly acknowledge our part; yet this is an invitation to respond, to be a healing Page 15 ■
