“In this Season of Creation, as followers of Christ on our shared synodal journey, let us live, work and pray that our common home will teem with life once again.”
Message of Pope Francis for the Day of Creation 2023
A Four Direction Prayer
Let us turn our hearts to the West
From there the Thunders bring us cleansing rain
Creator God, heal us and our relatives
Let us turn our hearts to the North
Winter comes to us from there and calls us to rest
Creator God, restore our strength
Let us turn our hearts to the East
The morning Sun begins each day there
Creator God awaken us and help us to walk with a
renewed life
Let us turn our hearts to the South
Where the warm winds come from to give us comfort and
joy
Creator God soothe our aching souls
Let us turn our hearts to the Sky
From there our Creator sees all around us
Creator God help us to trust you to lead us
Let us turn our hearts to the Earth
From there quiet wisdom comes to teach us
Creator God hear us as we pray
