Everyone has benefited from the abundance of our planetary home, God’s gift to us. In ancient scripture, the book of Genesis opens with humanity being given the whole Earth into our care. Early saints like St. Hildegard of Bingen, St.Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Benedict, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Aquinas, and Teilhard de Chardin exalted the wonder of Creation.
It is not redundant or inconsequential to pray for God’s creation. Loving care for God’s gift is not a monumental job, it only requires awareness. When we ask why we are here, and how we are shaping our terrestrial home, our honest conclusions might feel uncomfortable. It is prudent to ask, “Have we been good stewards of this extraordinary planet?”
