Awaken in us a reverence for all that you have made,
that we may care for the earth as your sacred gift,
live wisely among its creatures,
and proclaim your love through our stewardship and joy.
Through Jesus Christ, the Word through whom all things were made,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen.
