Fr Joe writes:
Nature
Our temporal future is bound up with the future of our fields, our trees, and our water resources, for on all of these, we
depend for our existence. What happens to our environment eventually happens to us. There is a reason, then, for
us to preserve and care for the milieu in which we live. We need to care for nature because nature nurtures us.
There is another reason to protect the world of nature that is so deeply a part of us. Nature is a gift of God. It speaks
to us about its creator because it reflects his beauty. When we spoil nature, we spoil the reflection of God and distain
his gift.
It is up to us to conserve and protect resources, to use the things of this world wisely, to blend with nature rather than
simply to exploit it. It is up to us to keep our environment clean, to respect it as God’s gift, to make sure that God’s
image in nature is not sullied by the unthinking use of his creation.
Let us pray: “Lord, nature reveals your beauty. If I have had a part in marring that beauty, I ask forgiveness. Inspire
me to use the gifts of nature wisely, and to understand my responsibility for protecting what you have given. Amen.”
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR CONFIRMED YOUNG PEOPLE
