Aa we prepare to enter the Season of Creation
( from 1st September until 4th October )
Pope Leo XIV offers us a powerful Message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.
What is flowing from my heart into the World
Is it care or indifference? Hope or discouragement? A desire for justice, peace, and communion?
Pope Leo reminds us that ecological conversion begins within us – but it is meant to flow outward,
Transforming how we live, how we relate to others, and how we care for our common home.
Before Living Water becomes a river that renews the world, it first renews us.
PLANTS WELCOME DURING SEASON OF CREATION.
