Kršćani ispovijedaju svoju vjeru u Boga Stvoritelja neba i zemlje. Pitanje je imaju li kršćani drukčiji odnos prema stvaranju od onih koji ne gledaju na stvaranje u svjetlu vjere u Boga Stvoritelja. Većina ljudi nije svjesna činjenice da im izostaje punoća kršćanske duhovnosti ako njezin plod ne uključuje veću ekološku osviještenost koja se očituje u konkretnoj brizi za naš zajednički dom. Katolička je crkva dugo odgađala objavljivanje službenih dokumenata koji potiču vođenje brige o okolišu. Ovo oklijevanje nadvladao je papa Franjo u svojoj enciklici »Laudato sì«, u kojoj naglašava probleme ekološke nesigurnosti i indiferentnost mnogih kršćana u odnosu prema okolišu. Papa je uputio ovu encikliku čitavom čovječanstvu zato što je želio pozvati sve ljude da se ujedine u zajedničkom traženju i ostvarenju konkretne brige za naš zajednički dom. U ovom radu autor najprije želi predočiti Papinu kritiku, ali i ohrabrenje u rješavanju ekološke krize. Autor zatim govori o putu ekološke duhovnosti na koju je pozvano cijelo čovječanstvo, a osobito katolici. Na kraju autor donosi dva duhovna sredstva koja nam nudi ignacijevska duhovnosti (kontemplacija, egzamen), a koja će nam omogućiti nov odnos prema stvaranju koji ohrabruje ekološka duhovnost.

Abstract A discussion of early contributions on ecological spirituality, such as “rediscovering the Gospel of the Earth” (Tom Hayden), “telling a New Universe Story” (Thomas Berry) and “religion as roots and wings” (Jay McDaniel), serves as sounding board for the much earlier pneumatological reflections on humanity and nature by the Dutch scholar, A.A. van Ruler. In his Trinitarian theology, Van Ruler explored ways of overcoming dualism in Christianity and countering spiritless definitions of reality in science. Christology and ‘incarnation’ need supplementation by Pneumatology and indwelling’ of God’s Spirit in humanity and nature to eschatologically properly integrate ‘all things’ in God’s ecology.

Síntese: Este artigo enfoca o diálogo entre o pensamento católico e os movimentos ambientalistas, que perpassa a encíclica Laudato si’, procurando caracterizar sua contribuição para este diálogo. Salienta a importância da sabedoria e da espiritualidade ecológica, da solidariedade, da opção pelos pobres e da subsidiariedade no diálogo entre catolicismo e ambientalismo. Conclui, mostrando que o testemunho pessoal e a adesão às causas ecológicas, naquilo que o discernimento cristão aponta como justo, tal como feito pelo Papa Francisco, são pressupostos para a continuidade deste diálogo. Contudo, para que ele dê fruto plenamente, é necessário que a inteligência da fé se torne uma inteligência da realidade capaz de iluminar os desafios vividos pela sociedade atual.Palavras-chave: Laudato si’. Papa Francisco. Ecologia. Antropologia filosófica. Opção pelos pobres.Abstract: This article focuses on the dialogue between Catholic thought and environmental movements, which permeates the encyclical Laudato si’, seeking to characterize their contribution to this dialogue. Stresses the importance of wisdom and ecological spirituality, solidarity, option for the poor and subsidiarity in the dialogue between Catholicism and environmentalism. Concludes showing that the personal testimony and adherence to ecological causes that Christian discernment points as fair, as made by Pope Francis, are preconditions for the continuation of this dialogue. However, for it to bear fruitfully, it is necessary that the knowledge of faith becomes knowledge of reality, capable of illuminating the challenges faced by society today.Keywords: Laudato si’.

This research aims to explain about the acculturation of Islam and Javanese wisdom in interpreting ruh (spirit) as an ecological behavior in dealing with natural disaster and exploitative activities. The concept of spirit refers to the awareness to interpret the relationship between human and nature as a living macrocosm unit. The awareness, in Islam, is a dimension of Sufi that blends with nature, such as Javanese philosophy on the principle of the unity of nature. It employs descriptive analytical method by integrating theo-sufistic paradigm to find a turning point in the common ground between Islam and Java in preserving the nature. The analysis goes into three conclusions: 1) the concept of spirit in Islam is a representation of one’s love with nature as the manifestation of love with God in its essence; 2) Javanese beliefs and rituals in ruh as a living and valuable existence signified in mystical mythology for being haunted and sacred serves as theo-sufistic expressions of Islam and Java; 3) spirituality of the spirit generates awareness of the philosophy of Sangkan Paraning Dumadi, to live in harmony and balance between humans and nature. Penelitian ini ingin menjelaskan tentang akulturasi Islam dan kearifan Jawa dalam memaknai ruh sebagai perilaku ekologis dalam menangani kerusakan alam dan aktivitas eksploitatif. Konsep ruh yang dimaksud adalah kesadaran memaknai hubungan manusia dan alam sebagai satu kesatuan makrokosmos yang hidup. Kesadaran tersebut dalam Islam merupakan dimensi sufistik yang menyatu dengan alam sebagaimana falsafah Jawa tentang prinsip kesatuan alam. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitis dengan pendekatan integratif dalam paradigma teo-sufistik untuk menemukan titik balik persamaan persepsi antara Islam dan Jawa dalam memelihara alam hayati. Hasilnya,  pertama, konsep ruh dalam Islam adalah representasi dari mencintai alam sebagai manfestasi mencintai Tuhan dengan dzatnya. Kedua, keyakinan dan ritual yang dilakukan masyarakat Jawa atas ruh sebagai eksistensi yang hidup dan memberi manfaat yang mewujud dalam mitologis mistik yang disebut angker dan sakral sebagai ekspresi teo-sufistik Islam dan Jawa. Ketiga, spiritualitas ruh memberikan kesadaran dalam filosofi Jawa tentang Sangkan Paraning Dumadi sebagai makna hidup untuk dapat serasi dan seimbang antara manusia dan alam.

In the wake of the Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato sì which talks about the Earth as a common home of all people, the author offers a draft of ecological spirituality. The beginning of true eco-spirituality is ecological conversion, which is nothing else but a renewed consciousness that from our faith and encounter with Jesus Christ we also ought to change our relationship with the world around us. Ecological conversion should help the faithful to repeatedly and correctly develop their awareness of having been created, of their own immersion into the world of creatures with which they are interconnected. Correct ecological attitude leads to internal balance of the man himself, to solidarity with others, to natural balance of all living beings and to spiritual balance with God. Ecological awareness can help not only to preserve the environment, which is one of the basic goals, but also to change the way of behaviour, which can raise the quality of life of both the individual and the family. Ecological spirituality understands and lives the sacraments in a new way, as a means of salvation and sanctification, because in the sacraments God uses the visible matter in order to communicate his (invisible) grace. Eco-spirituality calls for upbringing and adopting new attitudes in the lives of contemporary Christians which need to help them to properly treat the created world.
