In 2025, it will be ten years since Pope Francis established September 1 as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.<\/strong> This day, the Feast of Creation, inaugurates what is known as the Season of Creation<\/a>: the time between September 1 and October 4 when the entire Christian family joins together in a worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. <\/p>\n\n

For the Vedruna Family, the care of the planet and the promotion of a spirituality that integrates ecology and social justice are very important, as reflected in these excerpts from the Chapter Document “Born Again”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

At this special time, we celebrate God as Creator<\/strong>, and recognize Creation as the<\/strong> ongoing divine act<\/strong> that summons us as co-workers to love and care for the gift of all creation. While Christmas and Easter commemorate the great mysteries that are the Incarnation and Redemption, Creation is an event and mystery that is often relegated to the background: this feast helps to remind us of this. As followers of Christ around the world, we share a common call to care for Creation,<\/strong> for our well-being is intrinsically related to the well-being of the Earth. <\/p>\n\n

From today until October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Laudato Si’ Movement<\/a> and the Time of Creation invite us to become aware of all this, to repent of the negative impact of our actions on the Common Home and to pray for its healing; as well as to honor God as Creator and to commemorate the great mystery of the creation of the world. To this end, we share four invitations open to all Christians, everywhere in the world. <\/p>\n
