Following the Covid-19 pandemic, rarely a day goes by when we are
not bombarded with distressing images, statistics or forecasts that
suggest the future of our planet hangs in the balance and that to
avert disaster we must take affirmative action. Time to Call Home
is a collection of short meditations inspired by Laudato Si', Pope
Francis' landmark encyclical letter on climate change, that
encourages the reader to take courage in the face of adversity and
to ponder the astonishing gift of the natural world. Unlike many
examinations of the environmental crisis, that are understandably
prescriptive in approach, the aim of this particular work is not to
admonish but to embolden. Readers are inspired to ponder the
awesome gift of creation and to heed its attendant call to
stewardship of our shared home. With recourse to poetry, scripture,
art and music, Hugh O'Donnell takes the reader on an awesome
ecological journey, from which we emerge coitted to redoubling our
efforts to live at one with our natural surroundings.
