Ecological spirituality for the humanization of the "common house" - Approaches from chapter VI of Laudato Si

The combination of spirituality and ecology is one of the main requirements of today's times. It is a question of survival in a historic moment in which the whole of humanity is plunged into a deep anthropological, environmental and health crisis that is worsening with the pandemic of the new coronavirus / COVID 19. Much has been written about this. Our objective in this study is to show how spirituality is a fundamental and indispensable source and support of humanization that enables a consequent ecological praxis. By the method of qualitative analysis of the bibliography favorable to the theme, the article deals with spirituality as a school of care of the "Common House"; secondly, it adresses ecological spirituality based on the category of love, in line with the sixth chapter of the encyclical Laudato Si; finally it reports testimonies of a paradigmatic change and committed to an integral ecology. We conclude that spirituality needs to be cultivated in its individual and community dimension for the humanization of the "Common House".
