On September first, we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Creation, a day that invites us to pause, pray, and reflect on our responsibility to care for God’s creation.
The Season of Creation, observed from September 1 through October 4, has its origins in this special day and invites us to deepen our commitment to caring for our common home.
- Dates: September 1 to October 4 each year.
- 2026 Theme: "Living Water," inspired by the biblical
text of Ezekiel 47:1-12:
“ We are called to
immerse ourselves in the water, and actively safeguard and work for the renewal
of creation so that environmental healing and human well-being may flourish
together.”
- Purpose: To unite Christians worldwide in prayer, ecological conversion, and community action for environmental care and the well-being of marginalized communities.
- Establishment: Pope Francis officially embraced the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation in the Catholic Church in 2015 and extended support for the broader month-long observance.
- Focus: Grounded in the vision of Laudato Si', Catholics are invited to respond to both the "cry of the earth and the cry of the poor" through sustainable practices, advocacy, and prayer.
- Pope Leo’s prayer intention for September: “Care for water”
"Let us pray for a just and sustainable management of water, a vital resource, so that everyone may have equal access to it."
· Resources: Catholic organizations—such as the Catholic Climate Covenant and the Laudato Si' Movement—provide specific liturgical guides, prayer services, and bulletin inserts for local parishes and schools. More on https://seasonofcreation.org/
