Contributions of the relational ontology for a believing appropriation of the Laudato Si’ encyclical

Abstract

Pope Francis is the first Pontiff to dedicate an encyclical to the caring of our home, as Saint Francis of Assisi understood it, as our own sister, as our mother Earth. The concerns expressed in Laudato Si', are an open invitation to follow the Christ, in the relationship of people with nature, which has not been a great concern to believers until nowadays. In this article we seek to appropriate the ecological concerns of the Pope and to respond to them from the relational ontology that emerges from the Trinitarian mystery, from which the entire life of believers is understood as a set of relationships in which human beings are immersed in a constant dialogue with all the reality that surrounds them.
