In this lesson your child learned that God wants us to care for all
that God has made. The Catholic faith teaches us that we
are stewards of creation. We do not attack the earth; we
share and care for it. Our task is to care for its
resources, creating a clean and healthy environment for
all God's creatures.
Go over the Faith Summary on page 77 with your child. Ask,
"What does God want us to do for our world?"
During the week encourage your child to find things to do to show
care for God's world. Praise your child for remembering
to care.
