PRAYER FOR THE EARTH

O God, who in six days made Heaven and Earth, and gave Earth to You children for safekeeping, I make my prayer to You to guard, enlighten and inspire our minds and our bodies so that we are fit for this great task.
 

I recognize how often my sins have contributed to the destruction of this wonderful gift that you have given us.

Let me now resolve to work to keep my soul, my body, and all that surrounds it unspoiled and a garden worthy of Your majesty.

Amen.
