At Home In Creation

(Brenna Davis)
(Brenna Davis)

Drawing on Pope Francis' encyclical "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home," 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.

You can sign up here to receive these reflections every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the Season of Creation, Sept. 1-Oct. 4.
