Thought for the day: When Jesus presses the question, who do you say I am?, we feel him speaking to us. Naturally, we think of our faith now in the light of our own journey of life and pilgrimage of faith. How did I start out? What was my image of Jesus then and how did I relate to him? Have there been major turning points for me and can I name one or two? How have I deepened my familiarity with Jesus and who is he for me now? If I were to choose an image or a metaphor what would come to mind? If I were to explain to someone what my faith in Jesus is, what words would I use? Prayer: For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.

Season of Creation takes place from September 1st to October 4th , Christians around the world unite in this special season of prayer and action to care for our common home. It is a time to celebrate God as Creator and to reflect on our shared vocation to protect and cherish all of creation. This year’s theme, “Living Water,” is inspired by Ezekiel 47:9, 12 – a powerful biblical vision of hope and ecological renewal. Set against the backdrop of exile and loss, the prophet’s image of living water flowing from God’s sanctuary reveals God’s healing presence, bringing new life to rivers, land, biodiversity and communities, while calling us to renewed care for the whole Earth community.
