These reflections for the 2021 Season of Creation invite us to develop a deeper sense of being grounded in the place where we live, and where we find the nourishment and courage to lovingly care for our global home.
The Season of Creation reminds us that all of creation — including plant and animal life — has a right to the continued existence of their homes and special places.
As we are urged by scientific and spiritual leaders alike towards a paradigm shift in how we relate to land, do we have the courage to seeland as relative, or even more radically, land as self?
When we walk on the land where we live with attentiveness to its holiness, we are sometimes granted the grace to experience God's love for us through particular parts of creation.
