Reflection

“We don’t inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” –David Brower

Prayer

God of tomorrow,

We are dedicated as a ministry to the cause of environmental justice and care for creation. Yet the challenges here are so immense that we stand in constant need of new hope and fresh inspiration. May we regain inner strength today by imagining how future generations will describe what we did with the world before them. In big ways and small, may our actions in creation become signs of our investment in their livelihood. Amen.

Call to Action

As I use, reuse, and discard the resources around me today, be mindful of the lasting significance of my actions upon future generations’ livelihood.
