NOVA'S LITURGIES CELEBRATED THE SEASON OF CREATION
2021 Theme: A Home for All? Renewing the Oikos of God
The Season of Creation this year comes at a critical time as the global community struggles to answer many questions. From October 11th to 24th, the Committee of Parties to the United Nations Biodiversity Convention will meet in Kunming, China for what is known as COP 15 of the UN Biodiversity Convention. It will review and evaluate the work on biodiversity of the last decade and is expected to finalize the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, capacity building, and resource mobilization.
In his World Environment Day Message for 2021, Pope Francis calls attention to this UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. He underlines the need for a sense of urgency and for strong ten-year commitments to restore the global ecosystems that nurture biodiversity and constitute the household of God’s creation on Earth. The prayer, discussions, advocacy, and actions of this year’s Season of Creation, with its focus on all God’s vastly diverse creatures that make their home on Earth, will hopefully support and strengthen the commitments of nations at this crucial UN meeting.
