"Now is the time for all people, especially Catholics and Christians, to increase their commitment to our common home by doing more than ever to protect God’s creation." - Pope Francis
Pope Francis is urging all people to participate in this year's Season of Creation which begins today, September 1, and continues to October 4.
The World Council of Churches was instrumental in designating a season of celebrating creation from September 1 until October 4.
I was reminded of this by an email from The Benedictine Sisters of Erie, PA, a community of women who inspire me greatly.
Along with praying, I'll be looking for ways to act with reverence each day for Mother Earth and for all of us who make this precious planet our home.
I welcome your suggestions and hearing how you might celebrate.
Resource materials are available at SeasonsofCreation.org.
Sending with love and hope.
For all,
Charlene
