SEASON OF CREATION 1st Sept – 4th October 2024
The theme of this year’s Season of Creation is “to hope and act with Creation” and we invite you to follow and pray the “Via Creationis” or “Way of the Cross” mapped out under the Station of the Cross in Millstreet Church. The “Via Creationis” commemorates the mystery of creation by reading side by side the two sacred books that God wrote: the Book Scripture and the Book of the Cosmos, as St. Augustine and other saints have taught throughout history. By reading both books together we gain a richer appreciation of the great mystery of God’s Creation of Cosmos. A leaflet on biodiversity and living the Season of Creation is available for taking away at the end of the stations. Pope Francis’s message for the Season of Creation 2024, available on the QR Code placed on the last pew of the middle aisle, at the back of Millstreet Church.
