Season of Creation Resource Sheet

OF CREATION
Throughout the Season of Creation 1 September –
4 October, parishioners, students and clergy from
across the diocese reflected on the beauty and
wonder of the creation in our local environment.
We prayed, painted, wrote, sung,
captured and reflected on what
creation means to us, on our
favourite places and praised our God
and Creator.
Together, we created a community
reflection video where we prayed
together St Francis of Assisi’s
Canticle of Creation, which inspired
the title of Pope Francis’ encyclical,
Laudato Si – Praised be to You.
There were also submissions which couldn’t be included in the video reflection,
but wonderfully represented God’s creation and the call of the moment.
GOD’S MASTERPIECE, BY RENEE INGRAM
This poem highlights the beauty that is around us as an expression of
God’s love for us. It calls for us to honour that love and God’s masterpiece.
HEAL OUR HOME BY EMILY NASSO & NASSO COMO
This song by students from St Madeliene’s Kenthurst is a rallying cry for
each and every person to take what God has given us and heal our home
by being true custodians and stewards of God’s creation.
LET IT BE FREE, CHANEL DRAIBY
This powerful ballad, mirrors the cry of the earth which is currently in pain due to
pollution, greed and abandonment. A beautiful and powerful reflection, this piece
moves us to action.
