#RESTORETHEARTH: 2021 Earth Day
In Cambodia or Laos we have seen tree planting going on during these days.
In South Korea we can follow the Novena (9 day prayer) from 14-22 April launching the the Catholic Environment Movement. For each day, they propose one element of the 'Earth' - like Light (15) - Sky (16) - Soil (17) - Water (18) - Plants (19) - Animals (20) - Human (21) and 'Resting Day' (22).
A collage video composed by DBGA - EAO ECO TEAM with contribution from all EAO provinces is being prepared along the lines of this prayer:
Almighty God, every creature is created by the power of your love.
We thank you for giving us our Mother Earth, our home;
from which we are fed and raised,
for the days filled with singing birds;
and for the splendour of the universe.
When You created Earth and everything in it,
Your creation was given into our care.
In obedience to you, we beseech you
Grant us the grace to grow deeper in our respect and care for Your creation;
inspire us to use and conserve the riches of creation with wisdom,
and to ensure that these blessings are shared by all;
Encourage us to act now for the good of future generations and all your creatures.
Guide us to become instruments of a new creation,
founded on the covenant of your love.
