Summary/Abstract: The modern world was affected by an ecological crisis, which states a challenge for all the human race, as well as a sign of the times. Also the Catholic Church devotes in overcoming it, especially by the actions of catholic laity, which shape the temporal order. Christians find a supernatural motivation to be concerned about the created world in their faith. It is the person and creation of Jesus Christ himself. Because of his incarnation, He sanctified the material world, by entering into it. By accomplishing the work of salvation, not only did He deliver from taint of sins the people of all times, but also the whole creation. While residing on Earth, during his worldly life, He communed with nature and embraced it in a moral decent way. Incarnation, redemption and the attitude of Jesus make up a crucial premise for the whole activity of the Church.
