Celebrating the Earth shows you how to live life more fully by
appreciating the beauty of nature
and of human beings. Inside you will find 22 new rituals and blessings for
celebrating life: from giving
thanks for minerals to honoring St. Francis to praying while going to work.
Plus there are
ecumenical liturgies based on the four seasons and an extensive
bibliography that you can use to
develop your own prayers, rituals and reflections. The author explains how
the natural cycles of
birth and death, the seasons, and the patterns of darkness and light are
intertwined with Christian
spirituality. He will increase your sensitivity to the beauty and balance found
in creation and help you
to live attuned to the rhythm of the universe.

effects of technology. Concerned with the well-being of both people and
creation, he works to unite the
two through worship and spirituality.
