Reading - Genesis 1:24-25
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Reflection
God made all creatures with a purpose. What is your favourite animal and why?
Prayer
Thank you Lord for all the wondrous creatures you have made which teach us about your nature. May we cherish them all and seek to care for our planet to help it thrive. Amen.
