On
Monday, the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE), Conference of
European Churches (CEC) and European Christian Environmental Network (ECEN) issued
a joint
statement about the Time for Creation.
·
Today, the Patriarch Bartholomew issued his
message for September 1.
·
And tomorrow, Pope Francis’ special message "Show Mercy to our Common Home"
will be presented by Cardinal Turkson in the Vatican at 11.30am CEST. You
can watch the press conference in this
link.
We are very excited about facilitating the Season of Creation
campaign together with the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, the World Council
of Churches and other ecumenical partners. You’ll see in the Season
of Creation website that hundreds of prayer
services will happen in all continents.
You should have also seen that we will also be hosting tomorrow an
Online Ecumenical Prayer Service for the World Day of Prayer for Creation at
8am US EDT/ 2 pm CEST. More details can be found here: bit.ly/sept1prayer.
We hope your organization and networks join Pope Francis in this
special occasion. Remember that the Pope Video (produced by the Pope’s
Worldwide Prayer Network) is an excellent asset to promote this celebration;
you could share the Facebook
link or the YouTube
link.
This is an incredible moment in our Christian liturgical life: a
time to praise our Creator and to deepen the bonds with all of creation,
through prayer and action. Thank you for being a part of lifting this important
time to our communities.
God bless,
Christina on behalf of the GCCM Team
