Make Living Water Flow
Walk with us this Season of Creation
September 1 – October 4
About the Season of Creation
The Season of Creation is the annual Christian celebration to pray and respond together to the cry of Creation: the ecumenical family around the world unites to contemplate and care for our common home, the Oikos of God.
For us Passionists, this message resonates deeply with our charism. We are called to keep alive the memory of the Passion of Jesus, not just as a past event, but as a living reality. We see Christ crucified today in those who suffer: in the poor, in the marginalized, and yes, in the wounded Earth itself.
