“The Universe unfolds in God, who fills it completely. Hence, there is a mys cal meaning to be found in a leaf, in a mountain trail, in a dewdrop, in a poor person's face. The ideal is not only to pass from the exterior to the interior to discover the ac on of God in the soul, but also to discover God in all things”, by Pope Francis
The Human family has received from the creator a common gi of nature and the God is the owner of all things and therefore everything is connected. St. Francis and current Pope Francis's - Message on caring for the environment s ll ring true today. The patron saint of Ecology is St. Francis of Assisi. He was a pious figure who loved & cared about the Environment and wildlife by referring brother Sun, Sister Moon, Mother Earth etc.., through this he made it his mission to spread awareness. Pope Francis says “if the simple facts of being human moves people to take care for the environment of which they are a part of Chris ans. In their turn realize that their responsibility within crea on and their duty towards nature and the creator are essen al part of their faith”. Pope Francis was inspired by the life of St. Francis and He tried to live his life by loving the Nature and rightly he has taken the theme in 2020 on Ecology. “Nature protec on - my responsibility and everything is connected”. Yes, we truly agree by above words. This does take place in Snehalaya “The Home of Love”. We have been blessed with Love and this Love we share with the children and the nature at large. Snehalaya makes efforts to take good care of the Mother Earth and to give example to our children and the people who visit us, by plan ng different types of trees. These trees give shelter to the birds, food and shelter to human beings and animals & fruit trees to nourish us with the fresh fruits and also people get a racted to these when they visit Snehalaya. Different types of vegetables are cul vated in our field for our daily use. There are different types of flowers to beau fy our Home of Love and to Praise God by offering flowers to God daily. We also have love and care for birds and animals. The following animals and birds are in our Snehalaya kingdom, Cows, Goats, Rabbits, Dogs, love birds, pigeons, Turkey, Chicken, Ducks, Geese etc… We show love and concern to animals and birds by being available to them and taking good care of them, at the same me there is joy and peace with in us, in this way Snehalaya encourages everyone to take care of the environment.
