Season of Creation: Liturgy Resources for 2019

This year the Day of Prayer for Care of Creation on 1 September falls on a Sunday.

LITURGY MATERIAL FOR 1 SEPTEMBER

Liturgies for this Sunday and for the Sundays of Creation Time (1 September - 4 October) have been produced by Columban priest Charles Rue, who is based in Australia. They are available for downloading.

Season of Creation Resource Year C

The two-page September Resources follow a set schema. Each begins with extracts from the designated Scripture readings of the Catholic Lectionary for a particular Sunday. These Scriptural extracts are to be read with ecological eyes as the starting point to draw out implications concerning creation. They indicate: a grace to remember about God's outpouring of love in creation; what to give thanks for; and they offer a basis for intercessions.

Resources Years A and B are also on this website.

Liturgical ideas for 1 September have also been produced by the Catholic Climate Covenant
