Exodus 19: 16–19 / Acts 14: 11–18
Collect: Almighty and Ever-living God, You spoke the world into being, and your voice still echoes through all creation-in the whisper of the wind, the rhythm of rivers, the flight of birds, and the trembling of mountains. Open our ears to hear you in the wonders you have made. Teach us to listen to the witness of the skies, the wisdom of the earth, and the testimony of every living thing. As your servant Job reminded us to learn from creation, and the Psalmist proclaimed that the heavens declare your glory, help us discern your voice in the ordinary and the wild. Let the river of life flowing from your throne refresh our souls. Grant us the grace to live in reverent harmony with your creation, to protect what you have entrusted to our care, and to join all the earth in proclaiming the glory of your name. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
