Celebrating Earth Day 2023

On this Earth Day, let us be reminded of these words of James B. Irwin, U.S. astronaut on Apollo 15, and the implications they hold for each of us:
             From the moon, the earth looked just like a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine.
             The earth is uncommonly lovely.
             It is the only warm living object that we saw in space on our flight to the moon…
            That beautiful, warm living object looked so fragile,
            so delicate
            that if you touched it, it would crumble
            and fall apart.
            Seeing this has to change a person,
            has to make one appreciate the creation of God
            and the love of God.
