Moses said to the people: ‘So now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you.’
‘You must observe them diligently, for this will show your wisdom and discernment to the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people!’ For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is whenever we call to him? And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this entire law that I am setting before you today?’

A grace-filled and compelling message of our interdependence with God’s creation shared most compellingly. You raised my awareness of the need for fervent prayer for ‘Care of Creation’ in the face of a growing threat to our planet. I will take this pressing challenge to our Lay Dominicans in Minnesota to discern with God’s grace what actions we can take so that “we might live in the right relationship with the land.” Thank you, Ann.

A Deep Bow for your Spirit filled preaching for this beginning season of prayer for Creation.
May we all be wise in listening to what makes for Life and Life in abundance for all God’s Creation and creatures large and small.

“Compelling “ indeed, that is the correct word. Thank you, Ann. Much to ponder in this season and for life.
