2022 Season of Creation Prayer
SOC-2022-Celebration- Guide
In this Season of Creation, we pray that you would call to us, as from the burning bush, with the sustaining fire of your Spirit.
Breathe upon us. Open our ears and move our hearts. Turn us from our inward gaze. Teach us to contemplate your creation and listen for the the voice of each creation declaring your glory. For “faith comes from hearing”.
Give us hearts to listen for the good news of your promise to renew the face of the Earth. Enlighten us with the grace to follow the Way of Christ as we learn to walk lightly upon this holy ground.
Fill us with the hope to quench the fires of injustice with the light of your healing love that sustains our common home.
God who listens to every living thing,
Help us listen as you do. Amen
During the month of September we are encouraged to listen, reflect and act on behalf of individuals, communities, species and ecosystems that are lost or threatened.
The Burning Bush is a symbol of God’s call to all of us to listen to the voice of creation and faithfully respond through prayer, reflection and action. We invite you to write your prayers, intentions or commitment for the Season of Creation on digital red ribbons; adorning our bush with hope, prayer and positive change.

“Laudato Si’ Week 2022 will be celebrated May 22-29, designating the seventh anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato Si’, On Care for Our Common Home”. This global recognition will unite Catholics to listen and respond together in caring for all of creation, “walking the Synodal path”.
Please join us in celebration and reflection of our acknowledgement and actions towards ecological conversion through the seven goals of the Laudato Si’ action platform: response to the cry of the poor, response to the cry of the earth, ecological economics, community engagement and participatory actions, ecological spirituality, ecological education and adoption of simple lifestyles.
