Vietnam Go Green

23/12/2019

On the 1st of September, the whole Region was together to start the Season of Creation with a meaningful and beautiful morning prayer service. The altar was poetically set up with gorgeous flowers in a shape of open nurturing hands embracing the globe. 

The prayer began with the graceful procession dance. Each Sister held a flower in their hand, dancing and offering to the altar of God as a token of profound gratitude and complete oneness with the whole creation. This was also a symbolic gesture of committing ourselves to a sustainable living in our own context. 

During the prayer service, different symbols were in turn taken and offered like water, soil, seeds, plants and animals, a cross and the Regional Statutes. This was to deepen the awareness in the Region to live eco-spirituality as individuals and as a Region. 

Praying for the earth and praying with the earth intimately connected us all with the earth and with one another.
