    SICREDI AGENCY CELEBRATES THE SEASON OF CREATION, 2022

     

    In Guaíba/RS/BR, the branch Cooperative Sicredi Bank has set aside time on every Monday for prayer and celebration of faith and life before the work.  We, the Sisters of St. Joseph, were invited and have been praying for two years with the group of people who work there. This experience has been very positive for us and for the group. 

     

    Besides investing in social projects, Sicredi prioritizes quality relationships with its customers and has, as one of its values, the unrestricted preservation of nature. Thus, in September we prayed on "Season of Creation", and on October 3rd we had the closing prayer on the this theme.

     

     

    TESTIMONIES OF HOW THE GROUP PERCEIVES GOD, PEOPLE AND CREATION

     

    • It is a time to look around us and rethink on our attitudes and responsibilities.

     

    • Time to reflect on our relationship with God, people and environment, and to change our attitude and be renewed.

     

    • Time to love our neighbour and do our part in building a better world.

     

    • Time to analyse our attitudes towards the care for the planet, our common home for the good of all.

     

    • Time for reflection, perception, opportunity to "be" better as a person, to cooperate, create, innovate and unite.

     

    • Time to renew faith and attitudes, to face new challenges that come from God, people and nature.

     

    • It’s time to respect and care for life in creation, renewal, hope for a better world where everyone lives happily with what is necessary.

     

    • It’s time to reflect on our relationship with the environment, not just nature, but the place where we live together and where our God the creator of everything lives.

     

    • It’s time for preparation, cultivation of food and all that is good for oneself and for others.

     

    • It’s time of challenge to rethink on public policies which benefit people and planet earth.

     

    • Time of grace that the Church offers us to renew our relationship with the Creator and with creatures, through prayer and action, for our common home, linked to sustainability.

     

    • It’s time of celebration which allows us to see oneself as the "work of the creative act of the Lord of Life" because everything is interconnected.

     

    • It is the force that guides our life, in search of the true treasure, in the choice of the precious pearl, above the false values that only bring emptiness, pleasure, domination, and frustration. The meaning of life is in everything that moves on earth, directed by a Higher Force.
