Some more ideas from our Catholic friends, that you might enjoy exploring with your class. “This year, amid crises that have shaken our world, we’re awakened to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and each other. During the season this year, we enter a time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth, that requires radically new ways of living with creation.” Pope Francis, 2020 Season of Creation Message The Ignatian Solidarity Network have invited us all to join the Season of Creation Challenge - Healthy Habits for a Healthy Planet. From the website: SEPTEMBER 1-OCTOBER 4 SEASON OF CREATION In a time of quarantine, digital learning, racial injustice, intensifying storms, and mass migration, holding space to act on climate change can feel overwhelming. This Season of Creation start simple with one new daily habit for a healthy planet. Step one: Choose ONE daily action to repeat each day throughout the 34 days that will renew your relationship with creation or that will allow you to explore a radical new way of living with creation. Habit Ideas • Make a plan and plant a St. Kateri Habitat at your house, Church, or school to promote biodiversity and restoration of creation. • Avoid single-use plastics, food waste, or meat/dairy products. • Commit to a daily prayer practice dedicated to care for creation throughout the month. • Advocate on a different environmental issue each day of the month. • Read an article/book or listen to a podcast about climate change each day of the Season of Creation. • Choose your own habit to build. Step two: Take the pledge to commit to ONE action repeated daily throughout the 34 days of the Season of Creation to build a new environmental habit you’ve been meaning to get around to but haven’t made time for. Step three: Form and track your healthy habit for the planet! 2 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC 3 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC A Prayer in the Midst of Crisis From the Pray Daily September 2020 in Anglican Focus A Prayer in the Midst of a Crisis Holy God, who created us for and from love, in this time of social distancing, hold us close in your arms. Comfort those who are afraid, enliven those who are bored, give courage to those who are distressed, and warm those who feel the cold touch of loneliness. Breathe in, with and through us as we walk through uncertainty into a new future knowing that you are with us now and await us there. In the name of Christ, the Beloved, we pray. Amen. By the Rev. Canon Dr. Ellen Clark-King, Vice Dean and Canon for Social Justice at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco Grace Cathedral and it is my favourite place to visit in San Francisco – because it has the most amazing labyrinths. 4 | P a g e Vanessa Gamack ASC Would you like to pray for Anglican schools?
