Christmas, and the Invisible made itself visible. The Word became flesh. The Light shone in the darkness. If God came down from heaven for us, There is no doubt that he loves us! If God himself loves us, everything on this earth is easier for us, everything makes more sense: behind the obscure passages of our existence we can read the loving hand of God; the reasons may often be unknown to us, but they are reasons of love. Chiara Lubich
Have the courage to change
The “Season of Creation” is an ecumenical Christian initiative that begins every year on 1st September and ends on 4th October, the feast of St. Francis. This year with the theme “Living Water”, Christians around the world are invited not only to contemplate water at the river banks, but to immerse themselves in what it represents: life, relationship, healing, hope and the love of God that flows through all of creation. Here is a testimony from Congo, in Africa.
In the message published on the occasion of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, Leo XIV urges us to face today’s ethical and cultural crisis that includes the desire for war, domination and the pursuit of profit. What is needed is “an authentic ecological conversion” that comes from the heart.
A prayer by the founder of the Focolare Movement to Our Lady, Untier of Knots
