Reflection

“The care of the earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”
~ Wendell Berry

Prayer

Creator God, fill our hearts and minds with awe at the beauty of the natural world. Help us to accept our ancient responsibility to care for the earth and use its resources wisely and justly. Stir within us respect for the gift of the earth and all who inhabit it. May our appreciation of the goodness of God’s creation inspire us to act in ways that cherish and renew it.
In thanks, we pray. Amen.
