From LSI MOVEMENT – resources to prepare parish hearts for the September Season of Creation: Begin with the Heart – then solar panels!
by Christina Leaño, Associate Director, Laudato Si’ Movement
The world feels thirsty.
We see it in communities facing heat waves, floods, and conflict. But perhaps we feel it within ourselves too—a longing to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover God’s presence.
Before we prepare for the Season of Creation, God invites us to prepare something even more important: our hearts.
Begin with the Heart
Our newest Dilexit Nos reflection reminds us that compassion doesn’t begin with doing more—it begins by stopping.
In the silence of prayer, Christ renews our hearts so we can respond to the suffering of creation with hope instead of exhaustion. Explore the new reflection and Parish Guide to help your community grow together this summer.
Then Become Living Water
A renewed heart naturally overflows.
That is the invitation of the Season of Creation 2026. Living Water begins long before September—not with planning events, but by allowing God’s grace to flow through us into our families, parishes, and communities.
Our new reflection and Celebration Guide will help you begin that journey today.
As we continue this journey together, we are grateful for everyone who sustains the mission of Laudato Si’ Movement. If you are able to support this work, we invite you to kindly make a gift.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
May Christ renew your heart, so that together we may become living water for our common home.
