Purple (Naked) shore crab (Hemigrapsus nudus) at Crescent Beach, Washington, USA
All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe
and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
~ 1st Stanza, A prayer for the Earth, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis
