Each year during the month of September, the Christian family unites to celebrate the Season of Creation, a worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. This year’s theme Jubilee for the Earth presents an invitation to consider the integral relationship between rest for the earth and ecological, social, and political ways of living.

Portugal

Ponto SJ, portal of the Jesuits in Portugal, launched an initiative in their social networks to mark the Season of Creation. Every day, a thought is made available online, calling for the mobilization of people in the care of the common home. The challenges, expressed in a short sentence, invite to reflection, action, contemplation, prayer, thanksgiving, information and to savor the gifts of Creation.

Also to mark this special time, Ponto SJ offers an online retreat in association with “Rede Cuidar da Casa Comum”, to be done individually, with hints of prayer and reflection inspired by the seven verbs: to give thanks, to reflect, to be informed, to act, to contemplate, to pray and to savor. This proposal will be put into practice between 28 September and 4 October. The meditations, signed by a young laywoman, are broadcast in podcast and last for one minute daily.
