St Francistide reminds us that the God’s care extends beyond our limited human viewpoints: that Creation is more than just us. Like St Francis, we are called to move beyond the safe confines of what we know and find comfortable, to enter other worlds that exist around us which we may never see or expect, to embrace all creation, no matter how marginalised, overlooked or invisible.
At our main act of worship today, we thanked God for the animals in our lives and the joy, companionship and love that they give and share.
