This Lent, Behold a New Creation

During the fifth week of Lent, we reflect on the Sunday readings, thank God in prayer for designing the earth for life, fast from packaging and waste, and rejoice in the almsgiving of Nyumbani Children's Home and Nyumbani Village in Kenya.

Enjoy this reflection on the Canticle of the Creatures and climate change by our Action Commissioner Sr. Caryn Crook, OSF.
