Tilling the Earth

Art by Julie Lonneman


PAUSE

REFLECT

We till the earth,

We tend the ground.

Sowing hope and peace

Where none is found.

In selfless love

God's life abounds

We till the earth,

We tend the ground.

Take time to listen to a new hymn, Tend the Ground, inspired by "Laudato Si': on Care for Our Common Home."

Notice how you feel as you listen to the song. Are there particular lyrics that speak to you?


ACT

Meditate on a word or phrase from the song today as you walk outside or eat meals.
