Dear Brothers and everyone,
This year from 1 September to 4 October, the Church invites us to live and celebrate the Season of Creation, a special period of prayer, reflection and action for our common home.
This year's theme, ‘Peace with Creation’, deeply challenges us as disciples of the God of life and as servants of the sick and suffering.
With the Camillian charism, we are called to heal wounded life, to touch with mercy the wounds of body and spirit, and to serve every creature with love.
Today, creation also groans and awaits consolation. The wounds of the earth are also wounds of humanity.
In this context, celebrating the Season of Creation means
- Listening to the cry of the earth and of the poor
- Rediscovering the beauty of universal brotherhood
- Committing ourselves to a more sober, just and supportive lifestyle
- And praying for peace, which is harmony with God, with others and with creation
I invite you to live this time with concrete gestures of care, with moments of community prayer, and with awareness-raising initiatives in our communities, works and mission places.
May this Season of Creation be an opportunity for us to renew our Camillian commitment to serve life, in all its forms, with compassion and responsibility.
May the Holy Spirit guide us to be artisans of peace, custodians of life and witnesses of hope in this time of grace.
May God bless you all.
Pedro Celso Tramontin, MI
Superior General
Order of the Ministers of the Infirm (Camillians)
