The Season of Creation

Day of Prayer for Creation (1 Sept)  and start of the Season of Creation

This day of prayer is also the start of the ecumenical Season of Creation (1 Sept - 4 Oct) with its theme of “To Hope and Act with Creation”.

We are called to work together for a future of active hope and action.

'The first fruits of hope can be seen when we think and work collectively, when we recognize how we depend on Creation, when we listen to the cries of the Earth and the cries of the poor, when we listen to the voices of our global neighbours impacted by climate change, when we listen to the prophetic voices of indigenous sisters and brothers, when we listen to the different creatures that are going extinct and the ones still striving to live, when we listen to the voices of young people and children, when we learn from the slow and powerful cycles of life of different species, ecosystems, and biomes, when we work together with Creation and all creatures for a better future.'
