Love of Creation

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."

— Genesis 1:31

Creator of all life,

All creation testifies to Your generosity and creativity. Every creature, every plant, every landscape reveals something of You.

Teach me love of creation. To see each creature with respect and wonder, to recognize that everything is connected, that we are all part of the same family.

May I live in harmony with nature. Respect it, protect it, live simply so that others may simply live.

Amen.

Reflection

How do you live your relationship with creation? How could you respect it more?

For the protection of all creation and all living beings.
