Commenced in 2015, Pope Francis called on Catholics to join in the World Day of Prayer for Creation on the 1st of September, a day first proclaimed by the Orthodox Church and now celebrated by many denominations.
In the 2016 Papal letter for the Day of Prayer for Creation, Pope Francis talked about a “Time of Creation” or Season of Creation, the five weeks between the Day of Prayer on the 1st of September and the Feast of St. Francis on the 4th of October, each year onwards. .
The congregation of sisters of Mercy (Mercy International Association) have kindly shared with us their beautiful calendar to mark this very special time. It contains both an image and a reflection for each day, beginning on the 1 of September.
Let’s join Pope Francis and a world-wide network, in praying with and for creation during this special time!
