"You have made everything and are in everything. You sustain everything, guide everything, provide everything, and protect everything because everything belongs to you. We are weak, poor, and lowly; nevertheless, help us to care in appreciation and gratitude to You and for everything. We love the stars, the sun, and the moon, and we thank You for our beautiful mother, the earth, whose many beasts nourish the fish, the fowl, and the animals too. May we never deceive Mother Earth, may we never deceive other people, may we never deceive ourselves, and above all may we never deceive You. Amen. "
Bishop Vine deLoria, Lakota
