In NM’s droughts, fires and floods, Rebecca Solnit’s 2009 Katrina warning rings true: climate change heightens disasters. Being ready means separating fact from rumor and reshaping our worldview. Seventeen years on, how is your congregation preparing—morally and materially?

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, an evangelical Christian and leading climate scientist, says the biggest barrier to climate action is silence, not denial. A chat over coffee or across the fence isn't political—it's care. Who could you talk to this week?
Yesterday, on the Feast of St. Francis, the Season of Creation came to a close. 800 years ago St. Francis called sun, moon, wind, and water our siblings—the song that inspired Laudato Si. Here in NM, "Sister Water" is the Rio Grande, acequias, monsoon, aquifer. Which sibling are you grateful for?
Robin Wall Kimmerer notes trees in a grove rise or fail together. Many customs start with gratitude—mealtime grace, harvest prayers. What if gratitude guided how we live on the land? Giving back makes thanksgiving real. What has the land offered you? What can you return?

On this International Day of Peace, we remember the Vietnamese Zen master, Thich Nhat Hanh, who taught that peace and tending the Earth are one. Reverence can be small; each step slow, thankful, mindful of the soil beneath. Where do you walk that feels sacred to you?

We're in the Season of Creation (Sept 1–Oct 4). Pope Francis urges an "ecological conversion"—a change that reshapes belief and daily living. Communities can transform too: energy, water, advocacy. What practice will you or your faith community embrace now?
👉 Learn more about why Project HOW matters: buff.ly/NziE7wo Caring for Earth is central to spiritual life and social justice. Project HOW springs from moral urgency into practical action, inviting faith communities to lead with courage, compassion and resilience as the climate crisis escalates.
What's one act of hope you can take for creation this week? Joanna Macy taught that hope isn’t something we wait for but a practice—like tending a garden or praying—that grows from action. As she and Chris Johnstone wrote, hope is "something we do."
In New Mexico, we’re used to dealing with heat. But this is different. This Labor Day, you can support worker safety by signing the SafeWork4All petition at buff.ly/49IqqjK. We need a #WorkerHeatRule now. It’s common sense and it's for the common good. #NewMexicoWorkersAreHot

Tomorrow, Sept 1, starts the Season of Creation, through Oct 4. This year's theme, Living Water, calls us to become vessels of healing for the earth and each other. In NM, amid drought, dry acequias, and pressure from data centers and oil & gas; how can I become a channel of living water?
As the Trump administration seeks to slash Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments by nearly 90%, we stand in solidarity with our indigenous siblings for whom these lands are forever sacred. Raise your voice to protect these precious places: tell congress to act!
People of faith and conscience spoke up from across the state for the modernization of oil & gas clean-up rules and our voices were heard! As the modernization of these rules takes effect we are taking one small but critical step toward protecting our communities and all that sustains us.
