Our Cosmic Family
Today, the Season of Creation begins. Each year from September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. It is a special season where we celebrate God as Creator and acknowledge Creation as the divine continuing act that summons us to love and care for all that is created. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our well-being is interwoven with the well-being of the Earth.
Pope Francis, in his introduction to the Season of Creation 2024, asks everyone “to accompany this pilgrimage of reconciliation with the world that is our home and to help make it more beautiful.” I feel connected to his choice of words “pilgrimage of reconciliation.” Reconciliation means “restoration to harmony” or “renewal of friendship.” And indeed, we need to renew our friendship with the created world. We need to learn to treat animal beings and plant beings with kindness and respect. They are not resources to be used without care and consideration. They are living beings, part of God’s good creation, part of God’s web of life, just like us. Learn more about Our Savior’s Way to celebrate the Season of Creation, together with Issaquah Arts, this Sunday, 10 a.m., 745 Front Street S, Issaquah, and on YouTube.
