From September 1 to October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, we celebrate the annual Season of Creation which is an ecumenical effort to remind us to care for the earth. It is a time to renew our efforts to leave this earth “better than we found it.”
Fittingly, the Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for September is: “Let us pray that each of us listen with our hearts to the cry of the Earth and of the victims of environmental disasters and the climate crisis, making a personal commitment to care for the world we inhabit.”
