For He remembered His holy word to His servant Abraham.  And He led forth His people with joy; with shouts of joy, His chosen ones.  And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took what the peoples had toiled for, that they might keep His statutes and observe His laws.  Alleluia. Psalm 105:43-45 God created man in his own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them.  And good blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.  And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. ” Genesis 1:27 & 28, 31 I praise God for all His goodness.  As I stroll my dear 89-year-old mother in her wheel chair on this beautiful late summer morning, I wonder what my legacy for my grandchildren will be.  Is my generation doing all that can be done to assure those who come after us, a clean and safe environment? God created a beautiful world in which to live.  Although there are still places where humankind has not changed, influenced, improved or destroyed, we have changed much of the earth.  It is true that we are more aware today than we were decades ago as to how to preserve our natural resources and lands.  It can be said that this concern is up to government and industry to address, but our duty is to begin at home.  Being informed as to the laws and regulations that deal with the disposal of oil, cleaning fluids, lawn care chemicals, and non-biodegradable items is a must.  Using natural gas, electricity, water and other natural resources wisely, will help assure their preservation for future generations.  Fire and safety awareness is a must when we visit the parks and forests, and travel our highways.  It is also true that science has made many advances in living standards, medicines, modern con-veniences, education, and entertainment.  God did say in Genesis to have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.  We must do this without destroying the land, or the quality of air and water.  The U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, states that the extinction of single plant species may result in the disappearance of up to thirty other plant and animal species. “If I speak with human tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and with full knowledge, comprehend all mysteries, if I have faith great enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. To love is to decrease as He increases.  To love is to preserve and pass along God’s awesome beauty of the earth in the purest form possible (Rosa Curry, with her husband, Ron, is a prayer leader of the Spirit of Love Prayer Group at Our Lady of the Woods Parish in Woodhaven, Michigan.  They are also members of the DCCR Assembly.) (This is the eleventh in a series of Bulletin articles that will address the twelve areas of prayer for which the Lord has requested that all in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Archdiocese of Detroit intercede.  Those who are led to pray for this particular intention of "Ecology," please contact Rosa Curry, the writer of this article, at #734-676-4417, to let her know that you will join with her and others in praying for this topic.)
