God of all Creation, we remember how an unusual star led people wise enough to notice what others ignored to the wonder of the Holy Infant, and how they heeded the warning in a dream to return by another road. Give us wisdom to notice the signs around us that others may ignore and to change the road of deadly environmental destruction that we are on. Give us courage to make a new road by walking in awareness of the wonders there are to see all around us and by speaking whenever we gather as the Church of these wonders and the forces that threaten them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who walks with us always. Amen.
