From the Religious Education Coordinator

Each year, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation is observed on September 1. This international celebration marks the beginning of the Season of Creation, which extends to 4 October, the feast of St Francis of Assisi.

The day is inspired by Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato Si’ (2015), which calls on “every person living on this planet” to care for our shared Earth. “Listen to the voice of creation” is the theme of this year’s Season of Creation. Pope Francis calls Catholics to use the season to “cultivate our ecological conversion” and to pray together in “the great cathedral of Creation”. He warns that the world is reaching “a breaking point” and we must act decisively so that “we and future generations can continue to rejoice in creation’s sweet song of life and hope.”

Pope Francis says in his prayer intention that the care of our earth should happen “today; not tomorrow.” May we celebrate the Season of Creation sharing in and respecting our land’s resources.

A Prayer for Year 12 students

God, we ask that our Year 12 Sisters feel your presence with them as they prepare for and complete their final weeks at school.

Give them calm hearts and quiet confidence in the knowledge that you hold them in the palm of your hand.

Bless them with a keen understanding of what they have learnt.

Give them the ability to be exact in their explanations and an ability to express themselves clearly.

Holy Spirit send them your gifts of wisdom and knowledge.

We ask this through Christ our Lord,

Amen.
