Prayer for Creation of St. Basil the Great
O God, expand in us the feeling of fellowship with all living creatures,
with our lesser brothers, to whom You have given this earth as a home shared with us.
May we realize that they live not only for us,
but also for themselves and for You,
that they enjoy the joy of life just as we do,
and serve You in their place better than we do in ours.
