Reaffirmation of committment to care for the Earth

[Guest guest]

This is a prayer to reaffirm our faith and commitment to care for the Earth with these lines from the UNITED NATIONS EARTH SABBATH PROGRAM:

We join with the earth and each other. To bring new life to the land To restore the waters To refresh the air.

We join with the earth and each other. To renew the forests To care for the plants To protect the creatures.

We join with the earth and each other. To celebrate the seas To rejoice in the sunlight To sing the song of the stars.

We join with the earth and each other. To recreate the human community To promote justice and peace To remember our children.

We join with the earth and each other. We join together as many and diverse expressions Of one loving mystery: for the healing of the Earth and the renewal of all life.
