In seeing, may we learn to love.
In loving, may we learn to care.
O God, make us quiet and attentive enough
to see creation,
disciplined and joyful enough to cherish it,
and zealous and hopeful enough to tend it.
O God of all sight, all love, and all caring,
Give us eyes to see, hearts to love, and
hands to care for your world.
Amen.
