"My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.”
Isaiah 32:14-18
This year’s Season of Creation has as its theme “Peace with Creation”, inspired by the above passage from Isaiah. In a world of challenges and division, marked by war and climate change, how can we as people of faith create and work towards peace with creation?
The Season of Creation has a special significance for the Catholic Church, particularly since the late Pope Francis established 1 September as an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The Season of Creation is marked throughout the Christian world from 1 September to 4 October (Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi) and celebrates the joy of creation as well as encouraging awareness-raising initiatives to protect the natural environment.
