Our action – the firstfruits of hope.
Brigidines participate in the annual ecumenical celebration, the Season of Creation, which begins on 1st September, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation – and concludes on 4th October, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
The Season of Creation promotes heightened awareness through prayer, reflection and action to protect our common home.
The theme for Season of Creation 2024 is ‘To hope and act with Creation,’ and the symbol is ‘The firstfruits of hope,’ inspired by Romans 8:19-25
Pope Francis encourages all people of good will to walk in solidarity with each other to rethink the question of human power, its meaning and its limits.
Listen and view: Pope Francis Message for the World day of Prayer for the Care of Creation:
Season of Creation – a pilgrimage of reconciliation….
“Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or relativise the issue, the signs of climate change are here and increasingly evident. No one can ignore the fact that in recent years we have witnessed extreme weather phenomena, frequent periods of unusual heat, drought and other cries of protest on the part of the earth that are only a few palpable expressions of a silent disease that affects everyone. […]
I ask everyone to accompany this pilgrimage of reconciliation with the world that is our home…”
– Pope Francis, Season of Creation 2024.
