RESPECT FOR CREATION
Benedict XVI wants us to pray this August that all may have more respect for the gift of creation.
His August intention is: "That the human family may know how to respect God's design for the world and thus become ever more aware of the great gift of God which Creation represents for us."


Lots of meadowsweet at the moment.
