This is the occasion when night and day are equal all over the world. It is almost as if both planets want to remind us that only the Earth of all the planets of our Sun is bearing life. The first day of Spring is a divine symbol and promise of new life. Plants that have died will now be reborn in the seeds they have left. Caterpillars will change into butterflies.
Spring is the time for new life and new beginnings.
The March equinox provides a unique opportunity for Christians to all affirm their faith at the same moment in time. The day Spring begins provides a special opportunity to deepen awareness of nature and our commitment to think and act as trustees of Earth. Then when we buy, when we invest and in our daily conduct, let us seek choices that will nurture life and eliminate pollution and poverty. While all people can never meet at the same place, on Earth Day our hearts and minds can all meet with one another and with God at the same time. To friends and other interested parties.
