Season of Creation 2022

“Young people demand change.  They wonder how anyone can claim to be building a better future without thinking of the environmental crisis and the sufferings of the excluded.”          Pope Francis (Laudato Si’, 13)

September 1st – October 4th, 2022

 ‘Listen to the Voice of Creation’

 

 The fire that called to Moses as he tended the flock on Mt. Horeb did not consume or destroy the bush. Today though, so many huge and unnatural fires are a sign of the devastating effects that climate change has on our planet. Creation cries out as forests crackle, animals flee, and people are forced to leave due to the fires of injustice that we have caused.  During the 2022 Season of Creation, this symbol calls us to listen to the voice of creation, and faithfully respond through worship, repentance, and action.

Here is a song called ‘So Will I (100 Billion X)‘ and it is AMAZING!  Words like, ‘in the vapour of your breath, the planets formed….’ and images that are absolutely stunning.  As we all strive to Listen to the Voice of Creation, please take the time to listen and let the words/images enter your mind, your heart…….your entire being.  It’s really beautiful.
