Vinsensius dan Laudato Si’: Spiritualitas Belas Kasih dalam Krisis Ekologis Global
Abstract
The current global ecological crisis reflects not only environmental degradation but also a profound moral and spiritual crisis in humanity. The Catholic Church, through the encyclical Laudato Si’, calls for integral ecology as a faith-based response to this issue. This study explores the relationship between Vincentian social spirituality rooted in compassion, simplicity, and a preferential option for the poor and the principles of integral ecology in Laudato Si’, as well as its implementation in shaping ecological awareness among Indonesian Catholics. The discussion reveals that Vincentian values support ecological conversion as an act of love for both humanity and creation. Concrete examples from local Catholic communities in Indonesia demonstrate that a spirituality of compassion can inspire contextual and transformative ecological action. Thus, Vincentian spirituality and Laudato Si’ form a unified praxis that integrates social justice and environmental stewardship in the light of Christian faith
