3rd St Gregory the Great

Pope Francis prayer for September
Universal: That politicians, scientists and economists work together to protect the world’s seas and oceans. God, our Creator, as we reflect on the mysteries of the ocean depths, we celebrate the wondrous design of the seas that surround us. Help us to stop polluting our oceans and to empathise with the pain of creation. Teach us to know the presence of God in the tides and currents of the seven seas. Teach us to care for the oceans and all our waterways. In the name of God, the creative force that designs and governs all creation. Amen.

OUR COMMON HOME - SEASON OF CREATION – GARDENS for BEES

Bees are attracted to blue, purple, yellow and white blooms. Bee populations are declining everywhere, yet we depend on them for one third of our food sources. With our ‘bee-support’ we gain pollinated trees and plants, as well as sweet honey. May our love and care for creation extend to ‘God’s tiny creatures our brothers and sisters in the journey of life. 
DID YOU KNOW: In South-west China, apple & pear trees must be hand-pollinated using pots of pollen and paintbrushes – a gigantic and inefficient task.  God’s bees & insects do better. Together we make the difference.

Spiritual Reading

Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness. --St. John Chrysostom
