Infos

Morning and evening prayer for those seeking to respond to Pope Francis's call for greater care for our common home. ';God saw everything that was made, and indeed, it was very good.' Yet human disregard for creation endangers that goodness. InLiving Prayer: A Book of Hours for Cultivating Life, authors Alison M. Benders, Lisa Fullam, and Gina Hens-Piazza invitereaders to embrace our role as servant-cultivators in the ecology of God, celebrating and sustaining all that is. Following the pattern of the daily prayer of the church, Living Prayer offers a four-week cycle of morning and evening prayer to support a more sustainable lifestyle and embodies an ethic of care for our common home. Created with ecological and social justice-oriented individuals and organizations in mind, Living Prayer supports hands-on work in local communities, empowered by reflection and prayer. The book also includes a variety of green rituals to extend ecological prayer through practices that enlist elements of the reader's environment to connect to God's presence in the created world. It is an invitation to live the prayer of our hearts so that the ecology of God flourishes to cultivate the new creation.
