Rewilding our Souls

Are we listening?

Earth Day Prayer
April 22, 2021


Beloved Creator,
Heartbeat of Life,
Ground of our being - 
On this day set apart
to honour Earth, 
open our ears to 
hear the cries of 
our neighbours in the 
community of creation.

The wetlands are groaning
under the pressures
of development - 
Are we listening?

The forests are groaning
from the introduction 
of invasive species - 
Are we listening?

The lakes are groaning
from chemical runoff - 
Are we listening?

The hills are groaning
from the removal of their
ancient trees - 
Are we listening?

Open our ears to
heed the cries of Earth 
and our fellow creatures. 
Open our eyes to the 
wonder and beauty of
this most amazing universe.
Open our hearts to
love the world as You love.
Open our minds to
imagine a reciprocal future, 
where we give back
as much as we take.
Open our lives to 
new ways of being
earthkeepers, companions,
advocates, and champions
of justice and mercy 
for all beings.
Amen.

​- Wendy Janzen, 2021
