Each month, an Ignatian spiritual director offers their hope as our way of offering inspiration to pilgrims of hope engaged in the ministry of spiritual direction.
This month’s reflection is offered by Andy Otto. Andy is a spiritual director and pastoral associate for faith formation at St Thomas More Church in Decatur, Georgia. He spent nearly three years as a Jesuit in formation, where he was shaped in Ignatian spirituality through pastoral ministry, academic study, and Clinical Pastoral Education. Andy trained in spiritual direction through the Jesuit Collaborative in Boston. He offers the Spiritual Exercises and retreat ministry at Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center in Atlanta. He is the author of God Moments: Unexpected Encounters in the Ordinary and the creator of God In All Things, an online resource for Ignatian spirituality.

In Community With Others (Laudato Si' in Action #4)
"In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis encouraged ecological conversion, naming the “nobility in the duty to care for creation though little daily actions” (211). The four years I spent at Bethlehem Farm helped me to practice daily care for creation. It also taught me that caring for creation is more easily accomplished in community with others."
Welcome to Care for Creation: Laudato Si' in Action, a reflection series connecting us to our individual and collective call to ecological justice.
This reflection was written by Molly Sutter. Molly served as a Caretaker at Bethleham Farm in West Virginia and is now pursuing a Masters in Appalachian Studies from Shepherd University. This reflection was narrated by Elise Gower, former associate director for Contemplative Leaders in Action.
