Lockdown Thought — Day 42 now at Level 3

Christians need to become spokespersons for an ecological ethic in which the world is not ours to use for our own convenience. It is God’s gift of love to us and we must return this love by protecting it and all that is in it. This is something to think about today at home.

Adapted from: Tui Motu Magazine. Issue 230 September 2018: 5

No more new cases again yesterday — Alleluia!

From over eagerness to get going again, save us

From fear of what's ahead, save us

From thinking a few breaches won't matter, save us

From lack of gratitude, save us

From uninformed criticism, save us

From forgetting our connection to all the suffering in the world, save us

From taking Earth for granted, save us

And, Creating Spirit, lavish courage, healing, compassion and love on us.

For a laugh:
