The Earth is the Lord's and all that it holds, the world and all its inhabitants.
Prayer of Saint Francis for the Earth:
Lord make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon ;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O divine master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love, for it is in giving that we receive, and it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it's in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
