A Season of Creation

Each year from September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration (https://seasonofcreation.org/) of prayer and action to protect our common home. It is a special season where we celebrate God as Creator and acknowledge Creation as the divine continuing act that summons us as collaborators to love and care for the gift of all that is created. This year, the theme for the season is “To hope and act with Creation” (https://seasonofcreation.org/2024/02/02/soc-2024-to-hope-and-act-with-creation/). Amid the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, and eco-anxiety among some, we are called to lift the hope inspired by our faith in concrete actions of prayer, service and solidarity. We will discuss the background of the Season of Creation, what it means for us and actions we can take during the month.
