Place charity at the foundation of every action
Season of Creation 2026: The Transformation of a Community
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.
‘Love does no harm to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law’ (Rom 13:10)

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.
