Reflection

“We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.”
–St. Hildegard of Bingen

Prayer

Just God,

“Fall in love with creation?” How do we do that today, when the landscape is paved and the air is thick and, for increasingly more of our brothers and sisters, clean water and food are endangered? Give us new vision, wisdom, and passion for pursuing environmental justice together. Renew in our hearts a genuine love for this world that you made, for we protect what we love and will commit to defend it in whatever way possible. For the sake of the generations to come, Amen.

Call to Action

Take ten minutes today to put away my devices and screens. Make space to fall in love with the nature around me.
