LITed - LITURGY EDUCATION NEWS


​Season of Creation
​

Welcome to the August edition of LITed !

With Spring only a couple of weeks away, we have decided to devote this issue of LITed to the Season of Creation which has recently been approved by the Holy See, and which will take place from 1 September - 4 October each year.

The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation was proclaimed by the Patriarch Dimitrios I for the Orthodox Church on September 1, 1989 and was subsequently endorsed by Pope Francis in 2015. 

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development issued a letter on 23 May 2019, extending “a particular invitation to join the ecumenical family in celebrating the Season of Creation.” The season extends from September 1, the first day of Spring, until the Feast of St Francis of Assisi on October 4 and has been widely embraced by other Christian Churches. During this time, “Christians unite in praying and acting together to care for our common home”.

This does not supplant the existing liturgical season, nor does it replace the prayers of the Missal and readings of the Lectionary set down for this time. Rather, the Holy See intends that a special focus be given to creation in terms of music choices, intercessions, and perhaps material for the front of the newsletter. It is a time to focus on creation and the justice issues involved with it, along the lines of Laudato Si.

Best wishes from Tom Elich and Clare Schwantes
