For Our Common Home – Resounding Ecojustice
by Linda J. Chase

This is a work that listens—to the earth, to one another, and to the quiet call to live differently.

For Our Common Home – Resounding Ecojustice is an oratorio shaped by both gratitude and grief. Drawing on Laudato Si’ and the witness of St. Francis, it invites us to see the world not as something to use, but as something to honor and tend.

Through music and poetic text, the piece names what we know to be true: the earth is under strain, and the burdens are not shared equally. And yet, it also points toward another way—one marked by care, justice, and a willingness to live in harmony with creation.

Composed by flutist and former Koinonia volunteer Linda J. Chase, this work grew out of a time when much was breaking open. It remains a thoughtful companion for anyone seeking to respond with clarity, courage, and hope.

A listening experience that stays with you.
