The New Season

The French have a telling exclamation to describe September. It is — in English — one word: RETURN. It expresses the beginning of a new season as the memories of July and August begin to fade and we start back to realities.

We begin with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, which ushers in the time up to October 4th, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi. None of us could have missed the remarkable times with the climate and what is to come with El Niño.

For the harvest of His Spirit
