The 1st of September marks the day of Prayer for Creation, established as an annual event by Pope Francis in 2015. It also marks the beginning of the ‘Season of Creation’, from the 1st of September to the 4th of October. We at Auxilium Caranzalem made this day a memorable one with a special prayer moment, both in community and again with the staff members. The year’s theme, ‘A home for all. Renewing the oikos of God’, was explained and various prayers of intercessions were offered. The chapel was beautifully decorated with plants for the occasion and the notice board too highlighted the theme. We focused on two major questions, ‘Are my actions adding to the destruction of Mother Earth? Or Are my actions helping in ‘Çare for creation?’
