Preserving Creation

The wonders of God’s creation are all around us: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. But it is easy for us to take this bounty for granted—or worse, contribute to its destruction. It is our duty to tend to what has been given to us. These rituals and prayers remind us of the sacred nature of that task.
