Come, join the world in prayer and care during the 2017 Season of Creation Sept. 1 – Oct. 4. We are uniting with one purpose: to pray and care for Creation.
The 2017 Season of Creation is a month-long prayerful observance of the state of the world, its beauty, and the ecological crises that threaten it and all its inhabitants. People of faith are coming together around the globe to pray and care for creation.
The Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids have compiled daily reflections to share Sept. 1 – Oct 4. Engage in a new reflection each day by returning to this page at grdominicans.org as we celebrate Earth with thanksgiving, awe, concern, and care.
Answer Pope Francis’ urgent call in Laudato Si’ to: Pray for and with creation • Live more simply • Advocate to protect our common home.
