A few words this month Fr. Sawano

From September 1 until October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Christians throughout the world celebrate the “Season of Creation.” In response to Pope Francis’ appeal during his visit to Japan in 2019, the Catholic Church in Japan has designated this period, since 2020, as the “Season for Protecting All Life.”

Our own lives and bodies are also part of God’s creation. They are loved by God and created by Him. Everything that exists is God’s creation, loved and created by Him: things and living beings that we can see; things and living beings so small that they can be seen only with an electron microscope; things that are so far away in the universe that they cannot even be seen by a radio telescope; and even the things that exist in heaven, beyond this visible world.

There is nothing that was not created by God. Therefore, there is no person, no life, and no thing that would have been better off never existing.

All of God’s creatures, including us human beings, live and continue to exist within a loving relationship centered on God. In this relationship, even those who have died remain connected to us.

When we change our way of looking at the world—a way of looking at everything from a human-centered and self-centered point of view—we begin to see something new: how great, mysterious, and wonderful God’s work of creation truly is.
