This we know: the earth does not belong to us.
We belong to the earth, our lives should be down to earth.
This we know: all things are connected.
Like the blood that unites one family, our blood runs down to earth.
This we know: we did not weave the web of life.
We are a strand within it, woven down to earth.
Whatever we do with this web
We do it to ourselves.
Let us give thanks for the gift of creation and for our God, who came down to earth.
Let us give thanks that all things hold together in Christ, Christ who came down to earth.
The peace of the earth be with you.
Amen
