Through<br \/>\nthe Earth you created, we experience love and nourishment, home and<br \/>\nprotection.<br \/>\nWe confess that we do not relate to the Earth as a Mothering gift from<br \/>\nyou, our Creator. Our selfishness, greed, neglect, and abuse have caused<\/p>\n<p>the climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, human suffering as well as the suf-<br \/>\nfering of all our fellow creatures. We confess that we have failed to listen<\/p>\n<p>to the groans of the Earth, the groans of all creatures, and the groans of<br \/>\nthe Spirit of hope and justice that lives within us.<br \/>\nMay your Creator Spirit help us in our weakness, so that we may know the<br \/>\nredeeming power of Christ and the hope found in him. May the groans of<br \/>\nthe Spirit birth in us a willingness to serve you faithfully, so that we may<br \/>\nhear and heal Creation, to hope and act together with her, so that the<br \/>\nfirstfruits of hope may blossom.<br \/>\nLoving and Creator God, we pray that you will make us sensitive to these<br \/>\ngroans and enable us to have the same compassion as that of Jesus, the<br \/>\nredeeming Lord. Grant us a fresh vision of our relationship with Earth, and<br \/>\nwith one another, as creatures that are made in your image.<\/p>\n<p>In the name of the one who came to proclaim the good news to all Crea-<br \/>\ntion, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Amen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Spazio GPIC&#8221; color=&#8221;primary&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pddm.org%2Fjpic|||&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;24px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The Season of Creation runs annually from September 1 through October 4.
