Pope Francis has written a preface to a new book, Il Gusto di Cambiare [The Taste to Change], by Father Gaël Giraud, SJ, and Carlo Petrini, the founder of the slow food movement.
“I believe that this book is a precious gift, because it shows us a road and the concrete possibility of following it, at an individual, community and institutional level: the ecological transition can represent an area in which we all, as brothers and sisters, take care of the common house, betting on the fact that by consuming fewer things and living more personal relationships we will enter the door of our happiness,” Pope Francis wrote at the conclusion of his preface.
