Not to save the whole of creation
shrinks our spiritual vision and
separates us from the wholeness of life.
--Sr. Joan Chittister
I want to worship
at the shrine of everywhere,
want to know every inch
of this earth as an altar—
every walk, a pilgrimage.
Every step, a step
from holy to holy
to holy.
--Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, Sacred Ground
May we, on this Earth Day 2024,
begin to pay more attention to our planet
and its needs as a site of holiness and wholeness!
