Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We are familiar with our Church’s liturgical seasons: Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, the Triduum, Easter and Ordinary Time. The Season of Creation, which begins Sept. 1, is not among the Church’s liturgical seasons, but it is a special time within the universal Church. The first day marks the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Read more here...
