The Season of Creation is Here!
Pope Leo XIV offers us a powerful invitation as we begin this sacred season:
“Without this inner transformation, peace will remain fragile and short-lived. But where hearts are renewed, new possibilities begin to open. What has been used for destruction can be redirected toward life, toward the care of the poor, the nourishment of the hungry, and the safeguard of creation. This is the path of authentic ecological conversion, where the effects of our encounter with Jesus Christ become evident in our relationship with the world around us. Peace, then, begins in the heart and flows outward to our relationships, communities, and the broader world.”
Peace begins in the heart—and then it flows outward.
