Season of Creation

From September 1 to October 4, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation.  Click here to read the Message of the Holy Father for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation (September 1).  In his Message, the Pope points out that this is a season for letting our prayer be inspired anew by closeness to nature, for reflecting on our lifestyles, and for undertaking prophetic actions.  He concludes:  "Each Christian man and woman, every member of the human family, can act as a thin, yet unique and indispensable thread in weaving a network of life" that embraces everyone.  May we feel challenged to assume, with prayer and commitment, our responsibility for the care of creation. May God, 'the love of life' (Wis 11:26), grant us the courage to do good without waiting for someone else to begin, or until it is too late."
