Prayer Offered for May 15, 2025
Prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Sister Michelle Gorman, RSM:
This we know: we did not create our mysterious life.
The Earth is the Lord’s and so is all that breathes in it.
This we know: the Earth does not belong to us.
The Earth is the Lord’s and so are all its people.
This we know: that we are called to care for creation.
The Earth is the Lord’s, and we work to protect it for future generations.
This we know: we are called to creatively till the Earth.
The Earth is the Lord’s and so are all who work the land.
This we know: all creation deserves dignity and respect.
The Earth is the Lord’s, and blessed are those who share the land for the common good.
We pray in gratitude for the privilege of belonging to this Earth.—AMEN.
