On Saturday afternoon, 18th. September, five children joined Sr. Florence to learn about the Season of Creation. They heard the story of Abraham, then each one made an “Abraham´s tent”. They also visited the nearby park to experience God´s presence in nature and collect something for their tents. The afternoon concluded with the celebration of Mass followed by refreshments during which the children were joined by their parents.

Let us pray:
Walk beside us, Lord,
in the cool of the day,
in the garden you have created
as our common home.
Walk beside us, Lord,
as the cries of the forest
pierce the dawn,
and flames rip through
our common home.
Grant us courage, Lord,
as we walk beside all those
who struggle to protect
our common home.
Grant us hope, Lord,
and the vision to walk dark paths
in the light of a single sunbeam.
Grant us grace, Lord,
to put the flourishing of all people
and the wonder of your creation
at the heart of all we do,
as we strive to be guardians
of our common home.
St Francis, pray for us.
