“be transformed by the renewing of your minds”
The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
the darkness falls at thy behest;
to thee our morning hymns ascended,
thy praise shall sanctify our rest.

Feed the hungry.
Give water to the thirsty.
Clothe the naked.
Shelter the unhoused.
Visit the sick.
Visit the imprisoned.
Bury the dead.

“For the flowers are great blessings.
For the flowers have their angels,
Even the words of God's creation.
For the flower glorifies God
And the root parries the adversary.
For there is a language of flowers.
For the flowers are peculiarly
The poetry of Christ.”
— Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
