Reading - Genesis 1:20-23
And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
Reflection
Our oceans are precious and so are the creatures that live in them. What do you most enjoy about the sea?
Prayer
Lord Almighty, the oceans are filled with abundant life! May we remember how we are trusted to care for them and the resources they provide. Amen.
Activity
