O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, great and wide; creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great.

Wendell Berry, “The Unsettling of America” (1977)

Good Creator, we lament the harm we have caused to our Mother Earth. We commit ourselves to the work of repair and stewardship.
