for trees speak with the voice of God.

and from it take what you need;
the remainder is needed by others.

from the shelter of compassion and pity,
you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

Show me your hands.
Do they have scars from giving?
Show me your feet.
Are they wounded in service?
Show me your heart.
Have you left a place for divine love?
- Fulton J. Sheen (Archbishop)
God expects us to care for His world -
to clean up our sewage and our industrial pollution -
to respect His forests and His wild animals.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
