Read the Illuminations
Illuminations on the Lectionary readings for Season of Creation: Land Sunday, September 6, 2026
Welcome! We worship this Sunday with the land. We celebrate with the grasses, the soils, the vines and the creatures of the land.
First Reading: Genesis 2:4b-22
“Earth bears the curse for us”
Because of the sin of our primal parents, God pronounced some curses. The ground of Earth bears the curse for humans, and from the ground Abel's blood cries to God. At their death, Earth welcomes humans home again.
Psalm: Psalm 139:7–10
“God is present in all of Earth”
The Spirit of God is present throughout creation, from the heights of space to the depths of the ocean.
Second Reading: Romans 5:12–17
“The second Adam comes to Earth”
Christ is the second Adam, who came to overcome the sin and death caused by Adam, including the curse imposed on Earth.
Gospel: Matthew 12:38–40
“Jesus in the heart of Earth”
In death, Jesus too is connected with the ground. He is three days and three nights “in the heart of the earth.”
