For the love of

Creator God,
You show us what love is
through the beauty of the earth
and the gift of your Son.

For the love of…
animal and plant
mountain and forest
sea and city
woman and man
friend and family
those who live far from us
and those yet to be born.

Move us to live more simply,
to protect the earth
and to speak up for those in need.
Amen.
