Jul11

GEYZING: St. Mary’s Convent School, Geyzing celebrated World Environmental Day on Wednesday 05 June 2024 on the theme “Healthy Earth, Healthy Humankind, Our Land, and Our Future”.

On this bright and sunny day, the staff and the students set out for a cleanliness drive in and outside the school. It was to raise awareness on environmental issues and to give importance to keep the surrounding clean and green.  All the students involved themselves actively in this cleanliness drive. A healthy environment is the source of life for everyone. The quality of life depends on the quality of the natural environment.  The staff and the students continue to dream of a cleaner and greener Mother Earth and try their very best to keep the surroundings clean.

The World Environmental Day Celebration in the Pathway of Ecological Spirituality

“In the beginning when God created the heaven and the earth, the earth had no form and was void; darkness was over the deep….” (Gen1:2) From nothingness, what a wonderful and beautiful world God created for us.

On the occasion of World Environmental Day, 5 June 2024, the members of the Sacred Heart Novitiate came together to render the creator their glory and adoration for such a gift of creation.

God’s gift to humankind through His creation i.e. varieties of plants and fruits of different kinds were placed in front of the altar as a reminder to thank God for His manifold blessings. We recalled God’s awe and wonder, and implored His grace, so that in turn through our good deeds we may add beauty and colour to His work of creation and not disfigure it.

During this hour of prayer moment we also asked God’s forgiveness for our selfishness and lack of care for creation.  As we concluded our moments of prayer we were moved and decided to ‘Mother Earth’ responsibly.
