On October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Season of Creation came to a close.
In the Casa community we united with the whole world in this season of prayer for the creation.
We closed the season the season of creation with a renewal chapter asking God and our brothers and sisters for forgiveness that oftentimes we have failed to consider the concerns of our common home.
We know that nature does not need us, but we need nature to survive and to live good lives,
yet often we are not aware…
Do you hear that? It is the voice of Creation!
Nature Is Speaking - Mother Nature
Mother Nature,
for the times
we have disregarded you,
we are sorry!
Creator God,
hear us and heal us.
Nature Is Speaking – The Soil
Soil,
for treating you like dirt,
we are sorry!
Creator God,
hear us and heal us.
Nature Is Speaking – The Water
Water,
for taking you for granted,
we are sorry.
Creator God,
hear us and heal us.
Season of Creation 2022
Creator god, Breathe upon us.
Open our ears and move our hearts.
Teach us to contemplate your creation on the verge of total destruction because of our abuse and misuse.
Help us to do our little share for the healing of creation consistently and regularly, following the way of christ, to walk lightly upon this holy ground.
Amen.
