Meeting points on earth

The photos on this page are are a reminder of the myriad places where our planet bursts forth with joy and in signs of the amazing creation which unites peoples as they share the natural culture of each land.. Beauty is something we share and think about on Earth Day, April 22nd 2023.
All that brings us together can become a deeper determination to work together for the Earth as we invest in our Planet.

EARTH DAY PRAYER

O GOD,
we thank you for this earth, our home; for the wide sky and the blessed sun, for the ocean and streams, for the towering hills and the whispering wind, for the trees and green grass.

We thank you for our senses by which we hear the songs of birds, and see the splendour of fields of golden wheat, and taste autumn’s fruit, and rejoice in the feel of snow, and smell the breath of spring flowers.
Grant us hearts opened wide to all this beauty; and save us from being so blind that we pass unseeing when even the common thorn bush is aflame with your glory.

Amen
