This week we celebrated Earth Day; A day to remind everyone how fragile our planet is and why it is important to protect it. Every little action on our behalf not only affects the environment around us, but can also have global ramifications. May we do what we can to continue to protect the world around us and make every day Earth Day.
Let us pray. God, thank you for helping us through this year and please lend us your strength as we begin the last weeks of the school year. May we use our collective voice to advocate for a planet that lacks one. May we use our collective energy as a push towards making long-lasting change in the hearts and minds of those nearest to us. We pray this in the name of all that is good and holy, Amen.
