"This is the season for letting our prayer life be inspired anew... to reflect on our lifestyles, to undertake prophetic acts of creation. It is a time to call for courageous decisions and direct the planet toward life, not death."
As we enter the ecumenical Season of Creation tomorrow until October 4, we reflect on the words of Pope Francis from last year, which seem even more relevant today and in this jubilee year for the earth. Now more than ever we need to come together as one global Christian family for justice.
What courageous prayer and action can we do in these next 5 weeks to give thanks to God and work to heal relationships between each other and the earth? How do the actions in our daily lives have an impact on others, especially the most vulnerable?
With you in this time of restoration, hope, and jubilee for our Earth,
All of us on the Creation Care Commission
