Caring for Creation: The Cry of the Earth
A 57-Week Journey in Weekly Videos from the Peace & Spirituality Center
Co-sponsored by the Archdiocese of Seattle Care for Creation Ministry
The Care for Creation video series invites us to pause and reflect on our relationship with Earth—its beauty, its suffering, and our sacred responsibility to care for it. Whether you are a passionate environmental advocate, curious to learn more, or not quite sure where you stand, these reflections offer a place to begin.
Rooted in the CSJP Land Ethic and inspired by Laudato Si’, each video brings together spiritual reflection, real-world insight, and a gentle invitation to action. The complete series explores the spiritual, social, and practical dimensions of caring for our common home—one reflection at a time.
All of the videos are now available, so you are welcome to move through the series at your own pace and return to individual reflections whenever you wish.
You are also warmly invited to share these videos with your community, school, parish, or anyone who might benefit from an invitation to listen more closely to the Earth’s cry. They were created to encourage connection, dialogue, reflection, and action across all walks of life.
Because the Earth is crying out.
