FOR THE WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE CARE OF CREATION
“Listen to the voice of creation” is the theme and invitation of this year’s Season of Creation which begins on September 1st with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation and concludes on October 4th with the feast of Saint Francis.
It is a special time for all Christians to pray and work together to care for our common home. If we learn how to listen, we can hear in the voice of creation a kind of dissonance. On the one hand, we can hear a sweet song in praise of our beloved Creator; on the other, an anguished plea, lamenting our mistreatment of this our common home.
