Examen Live! for the Season of Creation

We were joined by Cecilia Calvo from the Jesuit Office of Justice and Ecology and Brenna Davis from the Ignatian Solidarity Network.

The Season of Creation concludes on the Feast of St. Francis (Oct. 4). Cecilia and Brenna offered a special Eco-Examen that asks us to reflect on our personal relationship with creation, acknowledge and amend our ways, and promote ecological justice by standing in solidarity with those most impacted by environmental harm. For this Examen Live! event, we encourage you to pray with Creation in a physical way. Watch this prayer on your phone from your backyard or nearby park. Or, bring a small piece of God's beautiful Creation inside with you — hold a flower, rock, plant, or something that connects you physically to the natural world.
