Today we join people of faith around the world in prayer as we begin the 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, observed 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟒.

This year’s theme, “𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫,” is inspired by 𝐄𝐳𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝟒𝟕:𝟏–𝟏𝟐, where life-giving water flows from the temple, restoring barren land, renewing ecosystems, and bringing life wherever it goes.
This Season of Creation we are reminded that we, too, have a role in renewal. We are called to recognize the interconnectedness of all life, care for our common home, and work toward a world where both creation and humanity can flourish.
