Sustainer of Life, who abundantly nourishes all that breathes, teach us to honor the land, air, and water as the mother she is, trusting the harvest to come. Let our labor regenerate and not exploit. May care for one another be our worship and service our prayer. Strengthen all who are suffering and protect this planet, our home. Send forth Your Spirit and renew the face of the Earth. As we honor, respect, and care for rivers, plants, animals, and one another, may our lives promote liberty and justice for all. Namaste. Thanks be to God.—AMEN.
