Hymn Of St Francis To End The Season Of Creation 4 October 2020
Praised be you, my Lord, with all your creatures,
especially Sir Brother Sun,
who is the day
and through whom you give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant
with great splendour;
and bears a likeness of you, Most High.
Praised be you, my Lord,
through Sister Moon and the stars,
in heaven you formed them clear
and precious and beautiful.
Praised be you, my Lord,
through Brother Wind,
and through the air, cloudy and serene,
and every kind of weather through whom you give sustenance
to your creatures.
Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Water,
who is very useful and humble
and precious and chaste.
Praised be you, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom you light the night,
and he is beautiful
and playful
and robust and strong.

Harvest Thanksgiving
Robert Stephen Hawker, born 1803, ordained priest in Church of England 1831, became vicar of the village of Morwenstow on the coast of Cornwall in 1834, remaining there until his death in 1875. The village hadn’t had a resident vicar for over a hundred years.
The coastline was a notable ‘black spot’ for shipwrecks and smuggling. Bodies were frequently washed ashore but Hawker saw that they were given a Christian burial. His style of worship was the Prayer Book in High Church fashion with what he regarded as early Cornish and Celtic additions. His volumes of poetry are no longer remembered but his eccentric life style was more memorable. He wore colourful clothes. He is said to have excommunicated a cat for killing a mouse on a Sunday!
On 13 September 1843 he informed his congregation that a special Sunday would be set aside for harvest thanksgiving. This happened at the church of St Morwenna in Morwenstow on 1 October 1843. Thus began the custom of Harvest Thanksgiving in Anglican and other Churches, reviving a much earlier tradition.
Our Missal has a Mass for ‘After the Harvest’ (pp 1197-1198) with readings in the Lectionary (III:642-648).

The SEASON OF CREATION begins on 1 September with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, offers to individual believers and to the community a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation, raising to God our thanks for the marvellous works that He has entrusted to our care, invoking his help for the protection of creation and his mercy for the sins committed against the world in which we live. The celebration of the Day on the same date as the Orthodox Church will be a valuable opportunity to bear witness to our growing communion with our orthodox brothers.
We live in a time where all Christians are faced with identical and important challenges and we must give common replies to these in order to appear more credible and effective (Pope Francis).
The SEASON OF CREATION ends with the feast of St Francis of Assisi, 4 October.

Prayer for the Reopening of Schools and Colleges
As Schools and Colleges re-open, we pray:
Loving God, we ask you to wrap our school family in a cloak of love and protection as schools reopen this year.
Bless our Board of Management and staff as they continue the good work already begun to ensure a welcoming and safe environment for all.
Bless parents as they again entrust their children to their schools, confident that all can work together to help them become the very best that they can be.
Above all, God of Love, extend your hand of blessing on pupils as they joyfully reunite with their friends and all in their school community. May they progress in their studies and always know that they are safe, secure and protected in your loving embrace.
We know much will seem very different this year but we are confident that through the intercession of our own Saint………….., your love and care for each of us will never change. May we show the same love and care for one another in all we do and say this year. Amen (Adapted from Kandle.ie 2020)
At Beginning of Class or School Day:
Lord, be the beginning and end of all that we do and say.
Prompt our actions with your grace,
and complete them with your all-powerful help.
At End of Class or School Day:
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Glóir don Athair, agus don Mhac, agus don Spiorad Naomh.
Mar a bhí ar dtús, mar atá fós, agus mar a bheidh go brách, le saol na saol. Amen.

Saint Patrick’s Breastplate
Christ with me,
Christ before me,

Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
