In today’s homily, Br. Albert Khoo reflects on the call to care for God’s creation. From Genesis, we are reminded that God brought beauty and order out of chaos and entrusted humanity with the mission to be faithful stewards of the Earth. Creation is not just a backdrop to our lives but a sacred gift that sustains us, and its care remains our responsibility today.

Through the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we see how to live as humble stewards. Mary’s simple, open-hearted “yes” to God shows us how to live in harmony with His will and to receive creation as a gift, not something to exploit.

Caring for creation is ultimately a spiritual journey. By living with gratitude, reducing waste, and making choices that protect the Earth, we echo Mary’s openness and say our own “yes” to God
