Love makes us free
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
Thank you! We need this prayer so badly. I hope it repeats in smaller groups all over the world. Prayer is our only weapon in this conquest for Peace because only God can give us true and lasting peace which is His Peace. Thank you Sant’Egidio for holding this important event and allowing the whole world to participate. We are one family with you!

It was so beautiful to see so many united in prayer for peace in Gaza, and to hear the words of the presiding cardinal that prayer in common is a force that can change history.
