Reflection

“From the creation, learn to admire the Lord! Indeed the magnitude and beauty of creation display a God who is the artificer of the universe. He has made the mode of creation to be our best teacher.”
–St. John Chrysostom

Prayer

Creator of all,

We look at creation today and yes, we are inspired, amazed, and grateful to behold your glorious handiwork in the beauty of creation. The sunrises, the mountains, the flowers that bloom in some unlikely places. Yet we also look at creation and grieve, for the Earth that you gave us has been so marred by abuse and neglect. Beyond all despairing we commit once again, to do what we can to protect your good world and cultivate it in the ways that we should. As we admire you in it, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

What has creation taught me recently? Reflect on that lesson today or take some time to go outside so creation can teach me something new.
