Summary – This article examines the conceptual and theological convergences between the Spiritan spirituality and the paradigm of integral ecology articulated in Laudato Si’. It argues that the Spiritan tradition, grounded in kenosis, inculturation, communal life, and radical docility to the Holy Spirit, provides a distinctive framework for rethinking ecology through reconciliation. Organised methodologically around the principal themes of Laudato Si’, namely relational ontology, critique of modern dualisms, and spiritual conversion, the study engages foundational Spiritan sources, including Poullart des Places’s theology of poverty and Libermann’s kenotic epistemology of dispossession. By placing the Spiritan charism in dialogue with contemporary debates on relational ontology, biopolitics, vulnerability, and planetary fragility, the article develops the notion of an ‘ecospirituality of reconciliation’ as a theological alternative to technocratic understandings of the human and its relation to environment. Consequently, it proposes an original philosophical and theological framework for ecological conversion within the wider Christian intellectual and spiritual tradition, addressing the contemporary ecological crisis.
Keywords – Integral Ecology, Spiritan Spirituality, Relational Ontology, Ecospirituality of Reconciliation, Laudato Si’.
