Season of Creation Sunday Liturgies
Australian Columban Charles Rue has produced 'A Catholic Season of Creation resource, exploring the Sunday scripture readings during September (Year A, 2020). They can be downloaded from www.columban.org.au/media-and-publications/educational-resources/a-catholic-season-of-creation-sundays-of-september-year-a
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.
CLIMATE SUNDAY
The Climate Sunday initiative is calling on all local churches, Christian denominations, 'streams' and networks to hold a climate-focused service on a convenient date from 6 September 2020. At this service congregations will be encouraged to make a short and simple commitment to greater action to address climate change in their own place of worship and community, and to raise their voices to urge bolder action by governments.
