Sister Earth

Dom Helder Camara puts forward a series of beautiful reflections on the role of human beings as co-creators of the universe. He writes with the sensitivity of a poet and the simplicity of one who is deeply spiritual. The reflections take us through the failures of our human condition to a discovery of the wonder and value of creation.

Once started it is hard to put down. It is a work of simplicity, peace and insight.

The depth of Camaras ideas, symbols, and language are striking. This is a very worthwhile book for meditation.
