September 16 - International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is also called Humanity Sunday. We find this on the All Creation Praise website during the Season of Creation. Humanity Sunday is an occasion to remember our responsibility to humanize the world. This means to ensure that the planet is habitable for human beings and that our communities are welcoming to all. In other words, to create living conditions in which human begins can flourish. But, to be truly human is to also live in harmony with our other-than-human relatives. So, Humanity Sunday reminds us to take our place alongside our relatives of all species and together praise Creator. Yesterday, Sacred Heart Global Service Day was a good example of what it means to humanize the world. How might we continue this work of humanizing the world together?
