Holy Cross Catholic Church issued the following announcement on September 13.

The  theme of the 2020 Season of  Creation, chosen by its international  steering committee, is Jubilee for the Earth. The ecumenical steering committee explains the theme this way: “Climate change is a result of the intersection of greed, inequality and destruction of God’s Earth. The theme of Jubilee has been chosen for this year’s Season of Creation as it reflects those three interlocking themes. Jubilee is a time to renounce overconsumption and economic systems based on constant economic growth at the cost of the Earth and those who are poor. Jubilee is a time when those who have consumed the most must make restitution to those who have suffered the most. Jubilee is a time of rest for the land from constant exploitation, to restore ecosystems and people” Drawing on Laudato si' and the rich background of Catholic Social Tradition, we know that the human family is not facing various separate and distinct crises  social, political, economic, cultural, ecological. There is only one complex and integrated sociocultural ecological crisis requiring prayer, an integral ecological conversion, and action in all the interrelated dimensions of human life for the healing of the vast Web of Life. Everything is connected The first Sunday’s scriptures challenge Christians to take up the prophetic responsibility in love to invite each other gently and prayerfully to conversion and care for creation in these times of ecological crisis. The scriptures of the second Sunday recall that while the seriousness of the ecological crisis demands urgent and passionate prophetic action, it must remain nonjudgmental and forgiving. They invite reflection on how much we have been forgiven and still need forgiveness so that we may be patient and forgiving of others. The third Sunday’s scriptures remind us that God’s ways are not our ways and they invite us to contemplate some of God’s Jubilee ways of living on Earth, giving birth to the New Creation. The fourth Sunday texts put the focus squarely on personal responsibility for embracing the integral ecological conversion essential to healing Earth, caring for the Web of Life. The fifth Sunday continues to invite us to prayer, petitions, and thanksgiving while issuing strong warnings to the leaders of faith communities and nations that they have been entrusted with care for Earth, are failing at it, and will be held responsible. It will be taken away from them and given to those who will produce its fruit.

Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life.” From the Earth Charter, Quoted in Laudato si', #207
