SEASON OF CREATION

LAUDATO SI ! ( Praise be! )
 
We welcome September.  We give praise and thanks to God for creation and we reflect on how better to care for our common home.
 
Thanks is not an easy word for some people to say. For us it translates as eucharist so it should be easy.   Sadly we are often distracted, looking at our problems and discontents first, instead of focussing on the beauty God has given us in God’s creation and saying thanks.
 
 At this time every year it’s good to reflect on creation, to thank God for all of it and to play our part collectively and individually to care for all that we have been given. We also need to recommit to work together to build something better for the future. We need to make an effort to challenge the waste and devastation caused by our sometimes “ throw away culture” which is cluttering up this little corner of the planet. 
 
Pope Francis is challenging me and you every day to be more grateful, more caring and more active in caring for our common home. By building positive relationships and engaging in selfless acts of service we can make the difference in a sometimes chaotic world. God inspires us to work with generosity and tenderness to protect the world which God has entrusted to us. For us as Christians that means every moment becomes a eucharistic moment, a moment of thanks and gratitude. Impossible? Only if we keep looking at the negatives -  the prejudices, grudges, rivalries, envy and our superfluous material goods, and never see the traces of God’s Spirit right in front of us and all around us.  Open our eyes Lord, to the wonders of creation.
 
 Praise be to God.  LAUDATO SI ! Lets welcome September together as a parish community committed to living out what we preach. ​

​SEASON OF CREATION 2023: Pope Francis’ Message for the World Day of Prayer for Care & Creation: “First, let us join the mighty river by transforming our hearts. This is essential for any other transformation to occur; it is that “ecological conversion” which Saint John Paul II encouraged us to embrace: the renewal of our relationship with creation so that we no longer see it as an object to be exploited but cherish it instead as a sacred gift from our Creator. Furthermore, we should realize that an integral approach to respect for the environment involves four relationships: with God, with our brothers and sisters of today and tomorrow, with all of nature, and with ourselves.
