Let Justice and Peace Flow
Season of Creation 2023
A global ecumenical celebration
I am because you are, and you are because I am
From September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home, Earth. As followers of Christ, we share this call to care for creation. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our wellbeing is interwoven with the wellbeing of the Earth.
Over the next five weeks, the Sisters of Benet Hill Monastery will offer prayers, reflections, and actions that we can all take to help our common home. Follow us on Facebook or LinkedIn, sign up for e-newsletters, or come here to join in celebrating this Season of Creation.
Join the river of justice and peace
"But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" (Amos 5:24)
