In these hot August days, we are especially grateful for the gift of water. Without it, living things cannot survive.
May this beautifully creative story of water inspire and commit us to advocate for all of the ways this gift comes from God: oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater, and atmosphere.

Prayer
Gracious God, we thank you for the gift of Sister Water, as she
Glorifies the Lord, every shower of rain and fall of dew;
Frost and cold, ice and sleet, glorifies the Lord;
Glorifies the Lord, springs of water, seas and streams…
Praise him and and glorify him forever!
From Canticle 12, A Song of Creation
