To hope & act with Creation – learning from the animals

To hope & act with Creation – learning from the animals

  • Monastery of Our Lady and St. Bernard (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This year’s ecumenical Season of Creation takes the theme: To Hope and Act with Creation. How can we do this?

In this weekend celebrating Creation, we will reflect on the words of Job who invited us to “ask the animals” what they can teach us about our faith (Job 12:7-10). In His teaching, Jesus frequently drew on nature to illustrate the Christian way of life (e.g. Matthew 6: 26-30). Pope Francis too, reminds us that “each of the various creatures….. reflects in its own way a ray of God’s infinite wisdom” (Laudato si’ para.69] and urges us to remember that “the universe as a whole, in all its manifold relationships, shows forth the inexhaustible richness of God” [Laudato Deum: 63].

 We invite you to join us in contemplating the lessons we can learn from animals and to find hope and opportunities for action from the examples of small creatures (e.g. ants) that render significant change.

Click here for the weekend’s programme!

Suggested offering is £ 140 for the full residential weekend, which includes all meals from Friday supper to Sunday lunch. Non-residential options are also available. Please use the form to book your place or to request further information.
