Scripture Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
Leviticus 19:23-26 The Inclusive Bible: The First Egalitarian Translation When you enter the land and plant all kinds of fruit trees, consider its fruit to be forbidden for the first three years, and do not eat it. 24 In the fourth year the fruit is to be set aside as a praise offering to YHWH. 25 In the fifth year you may eat the fruit. By doing it this way, your harvest will increase. I am YHWH. 26 Do not eat anything with blood in it. Do not not practice divination or sorcery."
1 Corinthians 1:3 “God of all consolation who consoles s in all our afflictions.”

Closing Prayer St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi Prayer
God grant that I may not so much seek; To be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we pardoned. And it is in dying that we are born, to Eternal Life. Amen, Amen, Amen

Invitations: Our current ecologic crisis is a call to awaken to the reverence of life and the truth that all nature is alive and sacred. As we witness the sixth extinction of life on earth, the only one created by us humans, we are invited to reclaim the ancient wisdom traditions. We are one organic, interspecies, interconnected whole. What we do affects everyone else. Every Sunday at 5 pm we acknowledge that we need one another more than ever before and commune with God called by many names. We celebrate the wisdom traditions from the East, West, indigenous peoples, new science as we study the teachings of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Bible and the newly found gnostic gospels.
