Brother Sun, Sister Moon, and the Neighbourhood Squirrel

As the Season of Creation draws toward the Feast of St. Francis, we are invited to remember that creation is more than scenery, property, or resource—it is the beloved community of life to which we belong. From Brother Sun and Sister Moon to the remarkably determined neighbourhood squirrel, perhaps caring for the earth begins when we rediscover our kinship with the world God loves and is still redeeming.

Sometimes the sweetest lessons of faith are hidden in the most ordinary places—and they taste even better with a few mosquito bites along the way.
