A Home for All
This is our prayer Creator God
as we begin September and the Season of Creation.*
A Home for All
where the dignity in which you created us
is respected, upheld and celebrated.
A Home for All
where creation too is given its rightful dignity
and appreciation for how Mother Earth sustains us.
A Home for All
where those fleeing terror and destruction
are welcomed and embraced.
A Home for All
where the common good is seen as a gift
not privileged for a few.
A Home for All
where we can appreciate cultures and creation
in our small corner of the world and beyond.
A Home for All
where the goods of the earth are seen
as our sisters and brothers.
A Home for All
where we work together for the care of creation
and the care of each other.
A Home for All
where we listen to stories of each other
and the story of creation.
A Home for All
where we remember that your love and mercy
are ever present and always generous.
A Home for All
where we are part of the renewal
of your oikos-household.
A Home for All
this is our prayer to you
our Creator God.
* From September 1 – World Day of Prayer for Care of Creation to October 4 – the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, is known as the Season of Creation in which the Christian family celebrates the good gift of creation. The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. The theme for 2021 is A Home for All: Renewing the Oikos of God.
